Cat Green Bike Cat Green Bike are the three best things for a hospitable and caustic learner of trees. Living with physicists she was accustomed to equations, and once they’d all left home she began to hit strings with fingers. Utilising the delicate little gem that is a Ukulele, this lady lays down some frequencies and spaces for your tonotopic maps. Attracted or repelled, you have no rights to sell her to the knacker. The debut lob of four track fumblings Fourtracktastic was released by net label combatants My Formica Table in 2007, soon to be followed in February this year by a slightly more refined EP Four Tail Stew.

Dirty Diamonds are three Newcastle-based musicians; Nicky Rushton, Sarah van Jellie and Richard Bliss. They have also performed variously as members of Mush, the Camp Vamps and All Because the Lady Loves. The trio will perform a set of original material based on the idea that less is more. Multi-uked and multi-vocalled they blend tenor, alto and soprano ukuleles for your delight. Dirty Diamonds have been together for three months in this shape and form, and their influences range from Bananarama to Kraftwerk (with a sprinkling of French and Saunders).

George was born in St Peter's which is as near as you can get to Byker. He was the first born so he had no hand-me-downs and from birth to the age of twelve years was to be found naked. "I do what I do to the best of my ability... so there you go..." he says. www.ukuleleallstars.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
