Ukulele North - established 2009

Hello Ukulele Fans from Canada and Below North of 60!  ;-)

Peter Forrest

I've decided to DELETE the general Canadian ukulele forum. 

There was too much spam and a lack of users so it's gone, gone, gone.   hehe  Anyway, I will keep this cool domain name going and link up to Canadian ukulele artists.

My name is Peter Forrest and I've been playing the ukulele since October 2006.  I live in Ottawa, Canada and I am a member of the 1st German Ukulele Club.  I like to sing in languages other than English, in French and in German and a little bit in Finnish. 

I've also been composing my own songs in English, French, and Finnish for the ukulele.    

I have also collected so many ukulele books (I'm a librarian) that I have a vast knowledge of the available literature.  Whatever method that you choose to learn, just don't forget that the learning process never ends and it's fun! 

Cheers,

           Peter Forrest, purveyor of Ukulele North

NOTE:  Je parle également la langue de Molière!

The Radio Canada show "Divines Tentations" interviewed me in French about the ukulele.  It was called "La réinsertion sociale du ukulélé." Une discussion avec les musiciens Peter Forrest, Pépé et Matt Laurent. (24 juillet 2010)

Someone asked for the chords I used on my ukulele arrangement of the song "Un Canadien errant."  So, I quickly scored it in Sibelius today.  Enjoy!  If you do a verison of it on YouTube, please send me a link.  I'll be pleased!  I'm probably the first person ever to score it for the uke.  So, use it as you wish!  Salut!!!

Today is Father's Day and my dad first told me about this pub in Nottingham called "Ye Olde Trip to Jersualem."  My best friend lives in Nottingham so it is only natural I finally wrote a song for the town of Nottingham.

The forum is getting a lot of spam that I have to delete all the time. I have deleted the forum but will keep this great domain name for Canadian Ukulele links and my own stuff.
