Irish ukulele... does it work?

So, I delved into the world of ukulele recently, and on a whim decided to see how things would sound to do some back-up chords on it instead of guitar in an Irish trad setting (actually, I think the song is Scottish...). I fooled around combining it with mandolin and tenor banjo, but wasn't getting good results. I finally pulled out my whistle that I haven't touched in a while, and it seems to work. What do you think? It's the first song here:

Please try to ignore the squeeking of the whistle. I'm a bit rusty.
I'd like some honest opinions, good or bad, on how they sound together.
Also... I'd like to stress this was just an experiment. I'm certainly not planning to bring the uke to the next session!
