Antoinette writes her own original songs with the help of her ukulele. They are the kind of songs that give you a sudden burst of energy from the moment you hit play and make you want to dance round the living room believing you can take on the world. Yes, I would describe them as the superhero's of original ukulele music. But don't take my word for it listen for yourself. And if you start dancing round the living room then I win! Antoinette will be making her solo debut at the UCL ALL STARS Festive Fundraiser and this track will be part of the UCL ALL STARS EP that you can buy at the event :) Have a listen then see what Anoinette has to say! :)

Q. What does the future hold for Antoinette.
A. In about twenty minutes, a nice glass of plum porter. After that, who knows maybe a crusty pork pie.
Q. What message or wise words would you like to send out into the world this Christmas?
