This week’s _or rather last week’s belated_ ukulele World Tour will highlight ukulele instrumentals, with many rags, a bit of pop, punk and blues. Enjoy !
Country: United Kingdom/ Language: Instrumental
Wellington Rag , a tune written in New-Zealand by Clive Harvey
Al performs an excellent instrumental cover of Take a Chance on Me by ABBA.
Al will be back from his blog break at the end of this week so you can expect to see the tabs on his site very soon.
Update: tabs are now available on Uke Hunt here.
Country: Canada / Language: Instrumental
Rob certainly loves a ukulele challenge and demonstrates that even unlikely tunes can be played on the ukulele. Here he is perfoming an instrumental rendition of Nature Without Man by American punk band Minutemen.
In case you are wondering why I’m saying it’s an unlikely tune for the ukulele, take a listen to the original song here
Country: Germany / Language: Instrumental
TheMasterAchim performs a Ukulele Rag on a Lanikai CK Teq Curly Koa Tenor
Country: Japan/ Language: Instrumental and English
The Mighty Uke present the Sweet Hollywaiians playing the 12th street rag.
Time for a Ukulele blues with Danny Blackwell
Finally, another rag by Carlos playing the Laughing Rag

Thanks Armelle!
Through the miracles of facebook, I was excited to find out that Mike Watt himself (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges, etc.) saw and enjoyed this rendition!

Rob: now, that’s the beginning of fame! Excellent.

Those Hollywaiians are a truly amazing group. I saw them at Mike DaSilva’s in Berkeley, CA twice.

Jeff: you’re lucky to have seen them play live.
