Chonkinfeckle – Music for Your Classic Car Event

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Have you already thought about next year’s classic car event? How about some darn fine ukulele tunes played by Chonkinfeckle to entertain your visitors?

Chonkinfeckle are Les Hilton & Tim Cooke from Wigan, Lancashire, England. They met in September 2009 at the Wigan Ukulele Club and found out that they share a few interests.
So the decision was made to form a group based on their passion for local history. Les & Tim keep Wigan’s heritage alive by singing about it.

The songs either have a local lyrical theme or are instrumental. They are light-hearted and easy to listen too. Great fun for all ages, played on the mighty ukulele by two really nice and talented lads from the North of England.

So if you would like Chonkinfeckle to play at your next classic car event, you can contact them through MySpace, Facebook or of course their homepage.

And if you don’t want to wait that long to hear them play their belting tunes, just come to the BIG Christmas lights switch on in Leigh Lancashire on Thursday 18 November 2010 18:00 or to Stables Court Yard, Haigh County Park, Haigh, Wigan, Lancashire on Sunday 12 December 2010 13:00.
