Moonrakers
My main musical activity in addition to workshops and individual teaching is with Moonrakers - a 4-piece semi-professional band with harp, cello, harmonium, stringed instruments, female & male vocals. You can find out all about this - plus videos, etc - at www.moonrakers.net

RGT Ukulele Books
In 2014 RGT launched a new series of Ukulele Instruction Books suitable for self-teaching and for those wishing to take a graded exam. As a registered RGT tutor myself, I can strongly recommend these; they are clearly presented with chords, tunes, and accompaniment challenges. Each book has an accompanying CD, and currently there are seven books: Initial Stage, Preliminary Grade, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4 and Grade 5. They each cost £12.99 (reduction for the full set) and can be obtained from http://www.rgt.org
Stars & Catz
This is an interesting site with lots of free resources and information on tuition. It's essentially a UK-wide network of the best music teachers in the country, backed by a small team of expert coordinators. Take a look at https://www.starsandcatz.co.uk
