When I saw the title, I first thought "UK Exotic", but see it's obviously not. The music definitely transports me to the Pacific instead. I really like the sound and songs.

Yes it was a turn out of 153 players many of which were ladies! I'd guess there is still a lot of love for George Formby here, we are probably a nation of secret ukulele players!
Sorry to blockade your thread.. best of luck and a lot of fun with the album, it's a great idea!

Nice job Revmike
I was transported from the UK to the South Pacific as well. I like the animal sounds too.
