The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Laeiszhalle (Großer Saal), Hamburg
Since 1985, it has been the Ukes’ declared mission to counter the seriousness of life with charm, British wit, surprising arrangements, a healthy dose of self-irony, and simply sheer joy in playing and entertaining: it has thus developed into an internationally renowned institution that nevertheless does not shy away from constantly reinventing itself. With more concerts under their belts than the Rolling Stones, these virtuoso musicians prove night after night that you can have fun in any genre—as long as it’s on the ukulele. A witty, whimsical, irreverent, magnificent, rousing obituary to rock ‘n’ roll and melodic entertainment, all played on the »bonsai guitar«.
