In the words of Marilyn Monroe in "Some like it Hot" - "I play the ukulele and I sing" - and thats what I do....she was a lot better looking though!
I'm Peter, the tall one from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and this page is devoted to my alter ego Tony Penultimate and the quirky songs he/I write(s) which are all available online from this and other sites (like garageband or lastfm). If you play the uke and you’re brave enough (!) you can play along to ‘Après Ski’ or ‘Soppy and the Sentimentals’ on Marcel van der Zwet’s magnificent site
Sheep Entertainment (yes, really) – press the ‘Play along song’ tab and search. Various vids of Tonys can be found on yodeltube
I welcome all people (and uke players!) to become friends, if you like the tunes you can buy soppy and the sentimentals and mainly manly music from itunes!
If you're an old timer - CD's can be bought from here or even here in the US, not forgetting here or indubitably here in the UK.

Tony Penultimate was born the illegitimate son of an Algerian prostitute and a one-eyed Norwegian foreign legion deserter in the city of Marseille, France. As a child of the streets he was forced to grow up fast and furious among the pimps, wise guys and boosters who taught him all they knew - how to play poker, roll tourists, handle a knife, bake cup cakes etc. As a teenager, he sailed the world on tramp steamers learning the ropes of life. At the age of 19, while selling disposable lighters outside the bullring in Barcelona, he discovered that he had a voice that could woo the crowds. A self made millionaire by the time he was 30, Tony felt it was only fair that the world should share in the beneficence of his voice and the magic of his music, and thus he opened a page at myspace.
Luke Lukas is back with an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
"Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel."Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Hey man! It's been awhile since we've chatted, but I wanted to let you know that I just posted some tracks from my new album, AMEN and you can listen to it as much as you like! I hope all is well in tiny guitar land!
Please check out our new music video. The guy who directed Madonna's first music vid directed this, too. It's pretty funny, we think. Thanks again for being our friend!
Thanks for the add as a fairly new Ukulele player and a massive fan of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain it's brilliant to hear some of your fab tunes. Lovin' it!
