Formed in 1985 as a bit of fun, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's first gig was an instant sell-out, and they've been performing ever since. Over the last 30 years, they have spawned hundreds of imitators; indeed, the orchestra often is blamed for the current ukulele revival sweeping communities across the globe. The current ensemble has been playing together for more than 20 years and has become a much-loved national institution. They play ukuleles, they sing, they say funny things, they whistle; but they bring a lot more to the table than that. The "Ukes" are an irresistible entertainment juggernaut that bring us good humor, well-being, and joy with their music.
