Jiggy With Viggy is the baby faced, New York native, hilarious Ukulele Teacher/Performer that has taken Instagram/Tiktok by storm the past couple of years... Seemingly coming out of nowhere, I was keen to get Viggy on the Podcast because dozens of customers had mentioned her in recent months as their favourite online Ukulele teacher.

Phil was one of the first people I ever approached for the podcast but scheduling issues held us back. We caught up and discussed the history of the Ukulele and Phils introduction into the world 15+ years back.
-
Phil may not be a conventional face in the Ukulele world like many of my previous guests but his know how, experiences and enthusiasm for the Ukulele, how they are made and what can be done with them comes across in any conversation he has... We really enjoyed sitting down for an hour after work and just recapping our joint experiences.
I have no idea if it makes for a good listen but I love hearing what Phil has to say and I hope you do too. What a guy!

Joe and Kristen have recently handed some of the mantle over to Kaimana, Iokepa and Kahiau; their 3 sons and the future of Kanile'a. Listen in to find out what its like to create inspiring things in paradise!

Paul and I have an incredibly deep and rich history... He did sound for me at my first gig at 15, later got me my job at Southern Ukulele Store, his band played at my wedding and the most crazy thing is that I took on his role as manager of the Southern Ukulele Store nearly 7 years ago. To say we are linked is an understatement... Paul took some time out of his schedule to talk about the Mother Ukers, Pete Howlett Ukuleles, his favourite ukes, memories of the Southern Ukulele Stores formative years and more. You can find Pauls various projects the links below;

Got a Ukulele is currently the worlds leading independant resource for Ukulele reviews and information. I've long been in communication with Baz Maz supplying him with instruments for review and information as and when but this was the first time we spoke. What a lovely guy who definitely didn't deserve to be called miserable the moment I met him...
-
Kaimana is one of my favourite people in the music industry. He was born into one of the most important families in the Ukulele world today as son of Kristen and Joe Souza at Kanile'a and he has quietly inspired me since I first met him as a teenager how he has taken on more and more of the lead roles at Kanile'a and is guiding it forward side by side with his brothers. It's such an inspiring story and his enthusiasm for music business is something I have always found impressive.

Juliana is an impressive person to work with. In the 11 months I have known her and worked with her on Flight Ukuleles; the company has successfuly launched 3 new product lines that have all been massively popular and a fantastic addition to the ukulele world in their own individual way. It was fun getting to know her history and what led to Flight Ukuleles as we know it today.

Pete Howlett has had one of the most interesting careers in Luthiery that you could imagine... It really was a pleasure to sit down and discuss his career and influences in depth.
