This week I'm chatting with Will Grove-White, formerly of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Will joined the Ukes when he was just a teenager and spent well over half of his life with the band - so why did he decide to step away?

We also discuss:

• Life after the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
• Why he decided to make his own ukuleles
• Writing music for hit TV shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Fleabag
• Visiting ukulele clubs all over the world
• Solo projects

And lots, lots more.

There's also an extra 5 minutes of chat with Will about David Bowie's history with the ukulele, the book that he wrote, and why he probably won't be writing another one! It's available only on my Patreon page - sign up today and help support the podcast!

If you have any thoughts, comments or guest suggestions for the show please send me a message to UkeTeacher@GrabYourUke.com
