A brief history of Jeff
Jeff has been playing the ukulele for over ten years. His passion for it has grown in the last few years as he found a community of players online. This gave him an opportunity to find an outlet for his music.
In 2006 Jeff’s myspace page was noticed by the BBC Radio 2 show ‘The Day The Music Died’. Press the red button to hear it.
Jeff’s ukulele adventures on the internet were rewarded at the end of 2007 by him winning the Risa Ukulele Video Competition. As a prize he got to choose a Risa ukulele of his choice from their website. You can see part of his competition entry here.
Since 2008, Jeff has been building up his gigging experience where he has been getting a great response.
The end of 2009 saw the formation of Gaudy Orde. A four piece skiffley outfit playing Jeff’s music. The band is also getting a great response and is taking Jeff’s music to a wider audience.
In 2011 the ‘Size Of Wales’ charity stumbled upon one of Jeff’s compositions of the same name. They liked it so much they invited him to play it at an event in the Wales Millenium Centre in front of some distinguished guests including the Welsh Assembly First Minister. Here’s that performance.
