If you listen to BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week feature you will have heard the first in the series of The Uke Of Wallington read out yesterday.
Today’s episode feature a trip to the Isle of Wight and is broadcast at 9.45am this morning and again at 30 minutes past midnight tonight.
Feeling slightly out of place on his tour bus without a free pass, Mark Wallington meanders along the coast to Portsmouth and takes the ferry to Ryde. Having never quite got over missing the famous performance by Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, he has some ghosts to lay to rest. But performing on his ukulele at the Sandown Tap puts a whole new perspective on life.
Thanks to Seb for the headsup
