S3E16 - Kevin Chennell

Ukulele Is The New Black

In today’s episode I chat to Kevin Chennell from COVID-free Perth, Western Australia. He talks about how much fun it is to busk with a large group of ukulele players, about travelling the world to hang out with top musicians, and convinces his wife Lyn to join him for one of his songs. Please enjoy!
