I’m really not sure how Kurt Cobain would feel about his masterpiece been played in full on a ukulele but I had to do it.

Nirvana was a big middle finger to the music industry exactly when it needed it, goodbye cheesy glam and hello alternative rock. Whilst ‘alternative’ was hardly new, the attention and opportunities Nirvana’s success brought allowed people to reconnect with music that felt more real, intimate and relevant. It was like Punks second coming….Grunge!
