Delilah by The Shropshire Ukulele Massive (and friends) in Lockdown

CLICK ON 'SHOW MORE' FOR DETAILS
The Shropshire Ukulele Massive in Lockdown in Shrewsbury UK but still making music! Many of our members are in lockdown and isolating at home but we still managed, by the wonders of modern technology, to get together via video and record this version of 'Delilah' written by Barry Mason, and Les Reed, famously sung by Tom Jones, though we prefer the version by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and have based it more on their version ...
If you'd like to join us please comment here or email info@shroprock.co.uk and we'll send you the details for taking part in our next collaboration.
