Vote for me in the ‘Ukies’
Hey everyone!
Somehow, I have been nominated in the Best UK Ukulele Player category of the ‘Ukies’, an annual awards run by YouTube channel Anarchy in the Ukulele.
It’s just a bit of fun, but if you would like to support me then it only takes two minutes to click on the link below and cast your vote. There’s plenty of amazing artists and brands who deserve to be supported also up for awards too! I would really appreciate that.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for some more local (ish) ukulele action?
I’ll be appearing as a featured act at the Old Riverport Ukulele Festival in St Ives, Cambridge on Saturday 11th October, delivering a workshop and evening performance.
For 2026, spaces are already filling past for ever popular Bracklesham Ukulele Weekend in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, 6-9th March.
Amongst other dates, don’t miss the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain, the UK’s largest ukulele festival, happening on 14th-16th August.

Hi Matthew,
