About Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are a world-renowned ensemble celebrated for their playful virtuosity, sharp wit and brilliantly inventive approach to music-making. Formed in 1985, the group have spent decades charming audiences with their unique blend of musicianship and humour, performing everything from classical pieces and film themes to punk, pop and rock anthems — all on ukuleles. Their trademark deadpan delivery, immaculate arrangements and joyous sense of fun have helped them carve out a distinctive place in British cultural life, turning the humble ukulele into an instrument of boundless creativity.

Live, the Orchestra are a delight: warm, theatrical and effortlessly engaging. Their performances range from delicate harmonies to foot-stomping ensemble moments, often weaving comedy into genuinely impressive musicianship. They have toured the world many times over, playing iconic venues such as the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, and have inspired countless new players to pick up the instrument along the way. With charm, craft and a wonderfully eccentric spirit, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain continue to prove that great music doesn’t have to take itself too seriously to be utterly captivating.
