Welcome to The Ukulele Podcast.


Whether you want to hear how James Hill put together his famous arrangement of Billie Jean, or how Jake Shimabukuro played the ukulele for the Queen, it's all in this podcast.


Join me, John Atkins, for long-form uke-centric chats with everyone from Cynthia Lin, Bernadette Teaches Music and Victoria Vox, to Nick Cope, Bakithi Kumalo and Will Grove-White.


There's also stories recorded on-the-go such as my behind-the-scenes account of a local ukulele festival in England, and audio diary of my trip to the NaMM music convention in Los Angeles.


Plus listener contributions about your favourite ukuleles and what they mean to you.

Ukulele Tales has been nominated for Best Ukulele Podcast in the 2023 Anarchy In The Ukulele Awards! VOTE HERE!


Today I'm chatting with Sammy Turton, aka 4stringboy about all sorts of things including:


  • Writing and recording his first album, Vejr (meaning "Weather")
  • How he and his wife ended up living in Copenhagen thanks to Brexit
  • Performing live versus performing to a backing track
  • The origins of Fingerstyle Fursday
  • The importance of learning music theory
  • Why he resisted joining Instagram for a long time
  • Why he makes his own thumb picks
  • Harmonics (aka 'Sparkles') explained!
  • The three biggest influences on his playing style
  • Collabing with other big stars of the ukulele world
  • Why he’s called 4stringboy... and it’s NOT because of the ukulele!
  • PRINGLES
