Percy began playing ukulele at an early age, beginning by imitating the George Formby 78s he found in the attic.

He played with a trad jazz band at school, Dr Jazz, and began entertaining all round the area doing George Formby songs, and magic!

After drama school he went on to perform in theatre and TV and then landed a job at Disney in France. He went for a year and ended up staying for 23, playing and singing in bands all round the park.

The ukulele has always stayed with him and he now enjoys playing songs from jazz and ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, country, blues, Hawaiian...etc with a strong right hand rhythm and fingerpicking solos.

Ukulele

Percy performs solo, or accompanied, using different types of ukulele - tenor, soprano, resonator, uke-banjo - singing a variety of songs from 20s/30s to more modern too. Jazz, blues, country, etc all with energy and fun!
