They're really good Rufus2 … how did you come across them?

They are brilliant aren't they? Love that particular song too.

I guess the title of the song refers to us GNetters?

He also contributes a monthly comp. article to "The Oldie" mag. (UK). No!; I don't get a commission.! grin
I think (hope) this link leads to an application form for his newsletter, but if it's only the performance you need, try YouTube. Good Luck

Lovely - thank you.
We saw the Ukulele Orchestra many years ago at the Drill Hall in London. Very enjoyable and funny.

The uke is an extraordinarily versatile little instrument, I have heard lovely classical arrangements played in it (JS Bach, Pachelbel etc) and it’s a great starter instrument for young ones.

When I saw this I immediately thought of NfkDumpling, of window cleaning fame, who once had George Formby as a neighbour so naturally she's always up the ladder singing "When I"m cleaning windows, " without a uke, I hope! grin

love love love UO! saw them at a folk festival a couple of years ago, and they inspired me to learn to play! I am pretty rubbish, have no musical experience at all, but I can strum out a tune or two and am thoroughly enjoying it! Learning along with my 7 yr old grandson!

We saw them a few months ago in Manchester. They were amazing. We hadn't seen them before and hadn't quite known what to expect. We were not disappointed! My husband plays the ukulele and I bought him a banjolele for Christmas.
