George Hinchliffe's The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain LIVE

For four decades now, they have been touring the world with astonishing success: China, USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, the whole of Europe.

Whether at the Queen's private birthday party at Windsor Castle, at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, in Carnegie Hall or the Sydney Opera House - the Ukes' declared mission is to counteract the seriousness of life with all their might.

With more concerts under their belts than the Rolling Stones, the virtuoso musicians prove night after night that you can have fun in any genre - as long as it's on the ukulele.

Wonderfully clever! - David Bowie
