Mark Walsh has playing the Ukulele and Ukulele Banjo
from the age of eight and is now regarded as one of the
finest Ukulele performers in the world today.
Mark's interest in the instrument started
when he was at school, but his style of playing was
influenced by the late variety star
Billy
'Uke'
Scott, who was a great inspiration
and a dear friend.
When often asked why he learnt the Ukulele banjo and not the
Guitar, Mark will probably reply by saying: "Everyone plays
the guitar and I always like to be different!"
Mark Walsh's talent lies in taking the instrument to a much
higher level and showing how melody can be played on the
Ukulele.
With a variety of songs and comedy, this is how Mark Walsh
has become one of the most unique variety performers
around.
He has successfully shown what a wide range the Ukulele and
Ukulele banjo has.
Mark has worked on stage from a very early age and has been
honoured enough to work with many great stars including
Danny La Rue and
Roy Hudd.
Mark works mainly in the theatre and in cabaret and is
greatly involved with Music Hall. He also works all over the
world on cruise ships.
