The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
It’s an instrument which empowers musicians. It lifts performers’, and their audiences’, spirits. It allows reinterpretations of music from all genres. It creates a blissful live atmosphere. And it means those who use it can do a whole tour carrying only hand luggage.The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are an all-singing, all-strumming live phenomenon who have been astounding audiences and critics since 1985; rightly described as ‘the best musical entertainment in the country’ by the Independent; for Timeout they are ‘subversive, rare and very precious… frighteningly talented and awesome’; and again the Independent consider them to have ‘impressive solo voices and an absolute mastery of strum, pluck, and twang’. With a growing multitude of fans including the likes of David Bowie and Michael Palin, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain may have been best described, in the New York Times, as defining ‘the happy surprise of discovering something completely different’.
Swinging between foot-stomping rock and melodious lighter entertainment, a Ukulele Orchestra concert is a magnificent and unforgettable thing. Moving from renditions of Tchaikovsky to Otis Redding via Nirvana, Neil Diamond, the Sex Pistols, and Wagner, the Orchestra astonish audiences with the richness of their ukulele’s palette. No drums, no pianos, no backing tracks, pitch shifters or banjos. This is pure ukulele.
Still unconvinced? Ok, some more facts for you…
The Orchestra have performed thousands of sold out shows around the world, including in France, America, New Zealand, Finland, and Japan. They’ve worked with Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens), Madness, the Ministry of Sound, Kaiser Chiefs, and the British Film Institute, and have spawned more than a few imitators. One or two clicks around the internet will reveal many fantastic performance clips of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain; enough to convert even the most deep-seated ukulele sceptic.
Dave Suich, Peter Brooke Turner, Hester Goodman, Richie Williams, George Hinchliffe, Kitty Lux, Will Grove-White, and Jonty Bankes extract more from their instruments than seems humanly possible, and their delightful repertoire is made all the better for their deadpan sense of comic timing. Guaranteed to send audiences home with smiles on their faces that will last for days.
