From lute to uke book review

In this video I review 'From Lute to Uke' by Tony Mizen )published by Flea Market Music. This was one of the first books to transcribe classical music for the ukulele. It focuses on the Baroque and Renaissance period. The book is readily available and comes with a fantastic CD of all the tracks. Paul Mansell is a leading figure in the ukulele world and is a professional ukulele performer, author and teacher based in Northampton. He is the author of ‘Classical Uke’ (featuring 20 classical pieces for ukulele) and ‘Ukulele School’ (a tutorial for children and beginners) , both published by Kevin Mayhew Ltd. . He is one of the few people in the country to have a diploma on the ukulele (AVCM) from the Victoria College of Music. He is a regular contributor to Ukulele Magazine and was the first ever ukulele player to be featured on the cover of BMG Magazine. He gives regular recitals and workshops. His debut album ‘Me, My Ukulele & I’ is available now on KM Records. His books can be purchased at www.kevinmayhew.com For more information and current live dates, visit www.paulmansell.co.uk
