ukebert's solo album Kickstarter
« on: October 21, 2014, 12:53:38 AM »

Hello all,

My name is Owen Woods, aka ukebert. I have just set up a kickstarter to fund my first album. This will be a solo melodeon album, completely instrumental, nothing but me playing box.

Your support as members of this forum is vital to this project, as it was to Ollie's amazing album "Gambit". I hope that whether or not you feel able to pledge any money you will be able to share it to anybody that you think might be interested. I would really appreciate it!

Yep, I'm in too.
Not sure about the hug though...... well, alright  ;D

I think it's excellent that another young upstart is coming up and carrying on the torch of traditional music.
Good for you!
I really think it bodes well for the future.
Looking forward to it already.....

Yes we  are mostly all young upstarts, just he's at the younger part of the spectrum  (:)
I think it fair to say, we're at the other end  ::)
But all upstarts   ;D

I'm in.

I may play the waiting game and auction my hug on eBay when you're a superstar  :||:

BTW what's the lovely tune you are playing on the kickstarter video?
