The Wexford Carol : Complete Ukulele Tutorial & Sing-along

Posted by on December 22nd 2020 @ 5:25 pm

Perhaps my favorite carol of all-time hails from Wexford Ireland and is thought to date back to renaissance. I first heard this beautiful carol on one of the King’s Singers Christmas albums and absolutely fell in love with it. Being a reflective, lyrical tune, it may never get played on ‘Christmas’ radio stations and thus enter the canon of well-known carols … it is a favorite to program on classical concerts and is still sung by artists that appreciate a great tune … Julie Andrews, Loreena McKennitt, Yo Yo Ma and Alison Krauss, Celtic Women, Trace Adkins, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and more.

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
