About this act
Two ukuleles, and neither sounds the way you'd guess. Miss Elm plays a baritone with a deeper, jazzier tone and a six string tenor that rings closer to a harp, and her voice covers three octaves over the top of the finger picking. The Brisbane set leans on jazz standards and soul: Fly Me to the Moon, Dream a Little Dream of Me, Autumn Leaves, Lean on Me, plus Disney numbers when there are kids in the room. She reads the function and shifts between upbeat and easy listening as it goes. She also runs ukulele workshops, printed take home materials included, for teams that want to make something together instead of just watching. Holds a Blue Card.
