About Meredith

Meredith discovered the ukulele in 2016 after failed attempts to play other instruments.  While hardly a virtuoso, she covers up her poor playing by singing pretty well  Nobody seems to mind.

About the Theme Tune

All of the facts in the theme tune are true! It’s a fun song and we make no apologies for it being an earworm.

If you would like to play it, here are the chords. If you think you’ve done a good job of it, send a recording! You never know, it might even get featured on the show.

Ukulele Is The New Black, by Meredith Harper

I [A]wanted to play an [D]instrument

Cos mu-[A]sicians are so cool and I [E7]wanted to be cool

But I [A]found that playing an [D]instrument is kinda [E7]hard

I [D]tried the harmonica but [E7]I really sucked

I [A]tried the guitar but [D]my fingers couldn’t do it

I was [E7]ready to give up..

Then I [A]saw a little instrument [D]in the shop

It [A]didn’t cost too much so I [E7]gave it a shot

Now I [A]play all the time and my [D]friends do too

And who [E7]knew? Ukulele is the new [A]black

[D]Yeah it’s the new [A]black

[D]Everybody’s [E7]playing it........[NC]cos it’s the new [A]black
