Andrew Daniels, (AndyDan( gives us a call from 20,000 leagues under the sea, we talk uke tech , UKE MAGAZINE , players sex pics, Mustang Sally and The Who. I get a poem challenge from Simon Taylor at coolcatukes.com to write a poem about biscuits. We discuss poached eggs. iRobot calls us up, then we get a call from Matt Stead who rescues us from a biscuit loop. We actually manage to play the correct track from his CD The Wend. We get asked some questions through Facebook: biscuits, uke strings, strum patterns, worst gig, high G low G and nose hair. We can't stress enough how good The Quiet Whistle test is. Links below. We play a tune by Kevin McCrudden, Kev's Tune, it's brilliant have a proper listen. We finish off with a Hedge Inspectors track "the loneliest man in the ground".
