A carpenter in the UK who had four fingers severed when his glove was pulled into a table saw has fulfilled his vow to play ukulele again and perform for the NHS hospital staff who helped him.
Mike Aherne, 71, of Taunton in Somerset visited Southmead Hospital, Bristol on 3 July with the Ukulele Orchestra of North Curry he's part of. It marked a remarkable comeback as a musician after learning to play again with the three fingers (Mike lost his little finger) hospital staff were able to save following his horrific 2019 injury.
