Let me introduce myself
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the world of the Banjo Ukulele.
I was first introduced to the Banjo Ukulele in 1980 when I
was invited to a George Formby Society Convention in
Blackpool, a seaside resort on the west coast of England.
My first B/Uke was an un-named instrument costing only
£15. I soon wanted to upgrade and progressed to a Dallas
‘C’ which I kept for a number of years.
I now own a beautiful custom made Ludwig
c.1930 and a Markendale ‘Silhouette’ made
in 1994.I eventually became President of
the George Formby Society in 1992 and
have been re-elected each year since then.
More information can be found on George
Formby and the Society on the links and
you will also be able to hear him singing and
playing in his own unique style.
As far as I know there are no other sites
totally dedicated to the Banjo Ukulele and
hope that you will enjoy browsing through all
these lovely instruments.
If you have an instrument which you would
like me to feature send me a good quality
photograph.
Best Wishes
Dennis Taylor
