Behind-the-scenes with the fabulous Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

[@christopherwaldrop5293]

"You whip out a uke and everyone smiles. Well, for a while anyway." That made me laugh so much. It really is a welcoming instrument. Every ukulele player I've met encouraged me to pick one up and try to play along with them no matter how much I insisted I have no musical ability. Now I've been playing for eight months and it's so much fun. And that can be traced back to the Ukulele Orchestra making it popular.

A nuanced and unique instrument. Definitely not a toy, but fun to play.

They make those tiny instruments sing. Each instrument adds to the others in the group and to the piece being played and is quite distinctive in its own right in the performance. If you listen closely, you can separate each instrument while being played in a musical piece where the whole group is playing.

Rest in peace Kitty Lux. Tough act to follow - but I hope UOGB find someone to restore balance to the force that they are.

I watched their concert this year in Frankfurt and it was GREAT!

From Nova Scotia to Erie PA to Cerritos, California, to Carnegie Hall: I loves these ukesters.

So glad you guys are still posting content especially with the lockdown! We need more of George in the spotlight though!

I have your music coming from my office and I always have a smile on my face. Great enjoyment from your music.

Always loved the Ukelele. A beautiful instrument. I've alway felt a bit more skill to play these. I could sit & listen to this for hours.👍❤
