Welcome to the official website of Tony Penultimate (there are no unofficial ones yet- but Tony may get lucky soon).

Tony Penultimate is the pseudonym of Peter from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. He has released two albums of his own quirky songs which show all the ill digested influences of Jake Thackray, Frank Zappa, Tom Lehrer, the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, the Temperance Seven and Ivor Cutler, with the occasional touch of Peter Sellers and The Beach Boys….you can listen to some tunes from this link or the ubiquitous myspace (before placing your bulk order). If you are a blogger or a podcaster you are welcome to use this music on your podcast/blog.

If you play the ukulele and you’re brave enough (!) you can play along to ‘Après Ski’ or ‘Soppy and the Sentimentals’ on Marcel van der Sweet’s magnificent site Sheep Entertainment (yes, really) – press the ‘Play along songs’ tab and search – all of Tony’s songs can be found on the itunes buttons on the left hand side of this page.

Tony is best known for his towering performances (he's 6'8"!) with the international touring group, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. The band has a new album out called Precious Little which features 'Smells Like Teen Spirit" which was performed on Jools Holland's Hootenanny TV show and kicked off a lot of interest in the ukulele. The Ukes were recently profiled in Time Magazine and have toured in the US, Germany, Sweden, Ireland in 2007 and are due to tour New Zealand in 2008.

'Soppy and the Sentimentals' can be bought at selected shops or online from Longman Records and in the US from CD Baby, you can listen to the title track from the CD cover on your right. There are various videos of Tonys on youtube
