I have succesfully avoided bowing to peer pressure and I haven’t bought a ukelele.
However, a combination of peer pressure and going to see Seth Lakeman again at the weekend means I’ve gone and bought a mandolin:
Fortunately, it turns out they’re really easy to play and I’m already picking my way through cool sounding folkish melodies. Either that, or I’m just brilliant. I’m going for the former, though. Yay for folk music!
Wow… that looks like quite a mandonlin!
