Expect the unexpected with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Founded in 1985, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) has become an unlikely musical ensemble with an international cult following. Amongst their numerous achievements, they are responsible for breaking the world record for the most ukulele players performing together after 992 players joined together for a rendition of Beethoven’s anthemic "Ode to Joy" at the BBC Proms in 2009. While producing a number of successful studio albums, the group are best known for their fantastic live show that combines music with comedy and features a fantastically varied setlist. They often take well-known songs and reinterpret them in a totally different musical style, displaying the full possibilities of the ukulele as well as their incredible mastery of the instrument. Usually, the UOGB perform as an eight-piece ensemble with one bass ukulele and customarily wear smart, black tie and evening dress, a visual element that adds to the endearing and absurd quality of their live performances.
