Welcome to the Official Website of UKULELE MIKE LYNCH

Click Play on the video below for UKULELE MIKE'S rendition of the classical theme "FINLANDIA". This theme, composed by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in 1899, has been reinterpreted lyrically in the hymn tune: "SONG OF PEACE" (lyrics by Lloyd Stone) and strongly establishes Mike's belief that the ukulele is without a doubt the true instrument of peace. UKULELE MIKE spreads the message of this enchanting and magical instrument of Hawaii throughout the world through his YouTube videos and his teaching and workshop activity.
