George Hinchliffe's UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN.
For four decades now they have toured the world with astonishing success: China, USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and of course all of Europe. Whether at the Queen's private birthday party at Windsor Castle, at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, at Carnegie Hall or the Sydney Opera House - the Ukes' declared mission is to counteract the seriousness of life with all their might. They succeed with charm, British wit, surprising arrangements and sheer joy in playing and entertaining: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has thus developed into an internationally renowned institution that is nevertheless not afraid to keep reinventing itself.
The Ukes come on stage - and it is clear that we are in safe hands. A little quirky, yet witty and shrewd, and always a little irreverent... much praised by the likes of David Bowie and Brian Eno, promoted by the BBC and highly praised in the New York Times: this is an "evening of absolute entertainment".
With more concerts under their belt than the Rolling Stones, these virtuoso musicians prove night after night that you can have fun in truly any genre - as long as it's on the ukulele.
