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. How long have you been playing ukulele and why did you decide ukulele?  
A. About a year.  I used to play more guitar but my friend Rolando was staying with me one weekend and kept playing these Spingsteen songs on his uke.  It was either kill him or join him and I couldn't kill him.

Q. What music influences you in general? 
A. All of it does in some way I'm sure even the really annoying stuff.

Q. How would you describe your sound?    
A. The sound track to bungled open heart surgery.  Candid folky pop tunes with bite.

Q. Do you write your own songs or is this something you may consider for the future?  
A. I've been writing songs for a few years but they haven't had much of an outing.  I keep them in old biscuit tin under the bed.

Q. Please describe your overall experience at UCL.  
A. Fantastic people lots of hangovers.

Q. Would you recommend learning the ukulele and if so why?   
A. Definitely! They're really easy to carry so you can take one anywhere.

Q. Where can we find you playing outside of UCL?  
A. I've done the odd gig here and there.  I'd like to do more but I haven't got anything lined up.  It's about time I sorted that out. I also run a jam night at the 

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? 
A. Don't spend too much money on junk.  Oh and leave a carrot out for rudolf on christmas eve, it's hard work dragging that sleigh about all night.
