Dear All,

I'm writing to you with news of the LongMan Records campaign to make Britain
a better place by getting the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain into the UK
singles charts and onto Top of the Pops!!

As you may have heard last Monday (the 31st) was designated "Ukulele Monday"
to mark the launch of the UKOGB's first ever single - an unbelievable cover
of "Miss Dy-na-mi-tee". The day was celebrated on the radio up and down the
UK and most notably by Johnny Walker on BBC Radio 2. The lead up included
appearances on Jools Holland's "Hootananny", ITV's "This Morning" and
airplay on BBC Radio 1.

And what a week its been! LongMan are small and the industry is big! -
which in England can make life very tricky. But we believe that people
power and the appeal of the UKOGB will triumph. And we really are having an
impact - it is highly likely that the single will chart this week...

So we need your help: Please buy the single before Friday this week - but
not from us!! It's available in all Virgin stores UK wide (and we
encourage persistence if your told otherwise in any store) - or online from
hmv.co.uk or amazon.co.uk. Both count for the UK charts. Even overseas can
help here.

Once again thanks for your time.

Yours sincerely

Richard Durrant
Director - LongMan Records Limited
Producer - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
