Do you like to sit down and really listen to music? - then Tony Penultimate’s music may be for you. If on the other hand, music is more of a lifestyle accessory, to be switched on and off like a tap, chances are you won’t like it much.

’Soppy and the Sentimentals’ is a trawl through many genres including rock, jazz, hip hop, easy listening with each song seemingly different to the proceeding one, yet providing a coherent whole. It’s not a great record to put on in the background at dinner parties!

Fine musicians back Tony on this album, amongst others, drummer Toby Baron plays for Ray Davies, while bassist
(and CD Baby artist) Andy Hamill has played with Nitin Sawhney, Ursula Rucker and Kylie Minogue. Rebecca Hollweg (Andy’s wife and another CD Baby artist!) sings beautifully. The title track is downloadable free from Tony’s website.

Tony Penultimate is a member of the bizarre Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain which enjoys cult success both in the United Kingdom and in Japan. This 6’ 8" British eccentric has already released an album: 1999’s ’Mainly Manly Music’ which was admired by songwriters as diverse as Sir Tim Rice to Robin Gibb and is soon to be reissued due to continued interest.


Tony has performed with British TV comic, Vic Reeves (a clip of them dancing on the Shakin’ Stevens video - ’What do you want to make those eyes at me for’ - still appears regularly on British TV); sung with Jools Holland’s Big Band as well as the 60’s ukulele star Tiny Tim. Tony also made an ill-advised appearance (with his pink ukulele) on the Des O’Connor ITV show ’Pot of Gold’, causing the TV critic Garry Bushell to label him "a long streak of paralysed pistachio".

His songs have appeared in shows by the cabaret singer, Kate Dimbleby (Music To Watch Boys By) and more recently on the album, ’Bee for Bass’ by the session bassist Andy Hamill, which also featured Mark Murphy, Ursula Rucker and Carleen Anderson.

The song, ’The Stage’ on Tony’s album also features on the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain’s album ’The Secret of Life’

I hope you enjoy the clips.
