Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain on October the 8th

The Ukes appear on stage with one ukulele each, no gimmicks, no tricks, no vocal enhancers or overproduced wizardry, then proceed to tear the house down. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll never think about music in the same way, once you’ve seen and heard the Ukulele Orchestra.

A concert by the Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, awesome, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the “bonsai guitar” and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping oldies.

The Orchestra has seen over 9,000 days of ukulele action. It unites fans across the globe in celebration of ‘one plucking thing after another’on ‘instruments bought for loose change.’ They have sixteen-handedly turned the world on to the ukulele.

“Wonderfully clever” David Bowie
