The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a group of all-singing, all-strumming Ukulele players. They believe that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the ukulele! The Orchestra was formed in 1985 as a bit of fun, but the first gig was an instant sell-out, and they've been performing ever since. The current ensemble has been playing together for over 20 years, and has become something of a national institution in Britain. They’ve given thousands of sold-out concerts all over the world and their music has been used in films, plays and commercials. By royal request, the Orchestra proudly performed at a private 90th birthday party for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle. With a love of irreverent wit and a penchant for reinterpretation, their catalogue is a collection of rock, pop, jazz, blues and classical music.
