Big Al Whittle	The current state of folk music in UK (2105* d)	RE: The current state of folk music in UK	13 Nov 19
Anyway - can we talk about recent developments. I love this revival of the ukulele. I've got to admit it has provided me with a lot of inspiration. There are lots of uke groups - one meets every week in Weymouth. Personally I relate to the George formby split stroke style more than the hawaiian thing. Although , that's fun as well. I just think its great. there are singers in our local folk circles using all versions of the uke - soprano, tenor, baritone and bass. One trad group uses the bass uke rather like a bass guitar. The uke has been around for a long time and English players have been amongst the most innovative, and by and large it has been ordinary working class people who have adopted into their folk culture.
