A recent review: Alan Townsend comments: Here's an update. We followed Mary Agnes Krell and Phil Doleman's advice and had Percy Copley entertain us after the Porthcawl Ukulele Band annual dinner. This wasn't intended to be a workshop but a performance and Percy was excellent. His choice of songs was delightful and his picking / strumming style was inspirational. Highly recommended.
