S4E06 - Christopher Davis-Shannon

Today I have a chat to Christopher Davis-Shannon, a Philadelphia-based musician who grew up in a very musical family. He discovered ukulele a few years back and fell in love with it, and he now plays some fantastic music, much of it influenced by early 20th century players such as Roy Smeck and George Formby. Enjoy! To find out more about Christopher's music, teaching, and his new book "The George Formby Handbook", go to his website thetinman.co .
