When the only gig Mark Wallingtons R&B band can get is in a nursing home they decide its time to call it a day. But then Mark discovers an instrument he might just have enough talent for the ukulele. Realising his dream of a nationwide tour, the Uke of Wallington sets off on a 42 night road trip, playing open mic sessions from Brighton to Cape Wrath. Probably the first rock and roll tour ever undertaken on public transport. Working his way through the British summer, he takes his music to the Great British people, testing to the limit the theory that you cant hear a ukulele without smiling. Praise for Marks previous books: The humorous travel book weve been waiting for Daily Mail. Magnificent book Jeremy Clarkson. Masterly Daily Mail. Beautifully observed and original! Today. Likeable and Generous Guardian
