Nick Cody is passionate about music, and especially original music. Much as he respects the greats of the past, he feels that there's a finite amount of inspiration to be had from endless covers and re-arrangements of them. As he points out, great songwriters such as Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, or Stevie Wonder all had to take the risk of sounding distinctively different to what had gone in creating great music. And if we don’t produce original songs today, what will legacy do we leave for tomorrow? After discussion with his fellow band member in The Small Change Diaries, Jessica Bowie, Nick decided to create a platform for showcasing original ukulele music. It began with a Facebook page and has progressed into the impressive originalukulelesongs.com website. This currently features sixty-four artists from around the globe playing original ukulele music. Nick and his band also support and have played, the Great Northern Ukulele Festival. This wonderful event hosts some of the best music in the UK and from around the world. In 2017, it put on fifty ukulele bands and had ten artists from around the world specifically playing original music.
