Something a bit different

This is the Wellington Ukelele Orchestra, eagle eyed viewers will notice a facemask of Brett from Flight of the Concords, who is a member. And if you've seen their live show from London last year, Nigel is also a member (possibly the founder) of the orchestra

Sorry to be mysterious, but I don’t know how to embed them.

Share option under the video on YouTube mate, and copy the link as it's offered. Paste on here as usual

Hasn't worked for a while mate.
It should and it used to, but now only posts the link.
A few of us on here have highlighted the issue previously

I had the same problem for a while - now it works again... ?

It depends on whether you're posting from a desktop or phone/pad, if the latter then you just get the link.

No it doesn't

Marvin Gaye cover from the best named female rock band of the 70s.

I always thought of Only After Dark as a Human League song. It was only by chance today that I heard Mick Ronson's original. Ronson's version is pretty good, but I think The League's is far better.

Being a squeeze fan I’m biased, but during lockdown, Glenn Tilbrook and his ridiculously talented family recorded a few covers and posted them on his YouTube channel.
They include Bill Withers -Lovely Day (where a charlton shirt makes an appearance), Hall and Oates- She’s Gone and Human League - Don’t you want me baby (link below) amongst others.
