  • At the September 2018 meeting of the Austin Ukulele Society, we had a blast learning to sing and strum Nick Lowe's incredibly catchy 1979 new wave hit "Cruel to Be Kind."

    Everything sounds good on a ukulele, especially this!

    It's a beautiful chord sequence which sounds pretty special played on all those ukuleles.

    Such a mix of folks . . . the wonder of the ukulele bringing everyone together.
    Thanks for another good song and a lovely video.
    Cheers from Western Canada!

      Please tell me about"loaner ukes." Do you have a bank of them for borrowing? Where do they come from? ( I'm wondering because I still have hope of establishing a Uke Society in my community.)
      Thanks!

      Hi Barbara! Our friends from another local uke group, TUG (the Tuesday Ukulele Group), bring a handful of loaner ukuleles to our meetings. They are Makala sopranos and concert ukes, and people can borrow one to play during the meeting. It's great for folks who don’t have a uke yet or who just want to try out something different!

    Love it! One of my favorite songs of all time! Nick Lowe nailed it first, and then... you've got to see the (british cover dude) Kurt Baker version if you can find it on You Tube!
    Oh.. try this!
