Jiggy With Viggy is the baby faced, New York native, hilarious Ukulele Teacher/Performer that has taken Instagram/Tiktok by storm the past couple of years...

Ukes With Podcast #10 - Phil from Southern Ukulele Store
Phil may not be a conventional face in the Ukulele world like many of my previous guests but his know how, experiences and enthusiasm for the Ukulele, how they are made and what can be done with them comes across in any conversation he has... We really enjoyed sitting down for an hour after work and just recapping our joint experiences.
I have no idea if it makes for a good listen but I love hearing what Phil has to say and I hope you do too. What a guy!

Ukes With Podcast #8 - Paul Tucker from the Mother Ukers
Paul and I have an incredibly deep and rich history... He did sound for me at my first gig at 15, later got me my job at Southern Ukulele Store, his band played at my wedding and the most crazy thing is that I took on his role as manager of the Southern Ukulele Store nearly 7 years ago. To say we are linked is an understatement... Paul took some time out of his schedule to talk about the Mother Ukers, Pete Howlett Ukuleles, his favourite ukes, memories of the Southern Ukulele Stores formative years and more. You can find Pauls various projects the links below;

Ukes With Podcast - #4 Kaimana Souza of Kanile'a Ukuleles
Kaimana is one of my favourite people in the music industry. He was born into one of the most important families in the Ukulele world today as son of Kristen and Joe Souza at Kanile'a and he has quietly inspired me since I first met him as a teenager how he has taken on more and more of the lead roles at Kanile'a and is guiding it forward side by side with his brothers. It's such an inspiring story and his enthusiasm for music business is something I have always found impressive.
