Play George Formby style banjo uke

If you are a beginner, you should find this very useful. Learn how to get started in GF uke style by learning two basic techniques. First the split stroke, which is the foundation for most of the other GF style strokes, and secondly the thumb roll (or "triple"), which adds a bit of extra interest. Even though these are just two of the techniques, when used together, they can sound fantastic.

Inpossible to follow unless I know the key. Is it C, or D, or some other key? Perhaps a good starting point to any teaching would be to pass on this basic information. Please do that?

Being a little new to this technology, not to mention the handicap of age, I cannot find an email address for you. Is it possible you can send it to me?
