❤ from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@RWBHere]

Superb! Thanks. 🙂👍

[@RDVaughans]

This piece displays the group’s superb musicianship.

[@lancecluster]

All of their pieces do that. They are very good.

[@yxnsoong735]

Saint-Saëns, Jonathan Creek, Kitty Lux AND the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - - can it get any better at all?! Thank you all for this wonderful performance 💖💖☺️

[@JohnNoirSmith]

This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of classical music, and it's just SO GOOD with The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain!!!!!

[@douglasrasmussen480]

The UkeleleOrchestra is pure enjoyment - a magical chemistry of great musicianship and humor.

[@lpsglitterpaws8536]

You guys are so legit! You show the world that the ukulele is a real instrument! When I started playing a tenor 5 months ago, I heard comments like “why don’t you learn a real instrument?” It seems to me that poor Uke has been pigeon-holed and associated with Hawaiian music. This is not a restricted to one genre of music and you guys prove it!!! I hope you come out California someday...

I must say "I was impressed"! I have listened to all types of music in my 76 years on this Earth, but I have rarly been so enraptured as to this peace. I really think that Arthur Godfry just stood up out of his grave and walked just now. Huzzah!

[@BillMSmith]

I am agape. You people never fail to impress, but this certainly took things to a new level. The execution was superb.

[@athleticguy15]

It was spot on perfectly done.

[@KlausBeckEwerhardy]

Greetings from Germany. Outstanding.

[@kerryburns6041]

Held me spellbound.

[@nicks40]

In our house this has always been called 'The Waltz to the Scaffold'.

[@bobconnor1210]

Outstanding! Surely, Saint-Saëns would feel honored. Kudos to whomever wrote the arrangement. Well done,all.

[@maedilein6802]

You make this dreary old world a better place. Thank you for this.🧡💛

[@jdane2277]

Such a good arrangment and performance RIP Kitty Lux

[@johnmh1000]

I initially clicked on this one as an oddity, thinking I'll soon be surfing on. Sorry about that lady and fellows, how wrong can you be? What a masterpiece rendition of this unique piece, full of life (sorry, no pun intended - really) and a wonderful driving melody. I've replayed it four times so far. Thank you.

[@johnmh1000]

Sorry that should have been Ladies.

[@heatherturner5871]

Surely the definitive rendition of Danse Macabre?!

[@paularnulf4261]

Bravo les British ! De vrais virtuoses!

[@PanglossDr]

wtf has British to do with it? Keep your racism.

[@jonb4020]

@@PanglossDr Only that it is the ukulele orchestra of Great BRITAIN, dimwit! So there's nothing racist about his comment. Keep your leftist divisiveness.

[@Braddtastic]

I love the brief exchange between Richie and George at the end! 😅🎶

[@666catcat666]

Moving, magnificent mesmerizing Macabre ! Africa thanks you.

[@BicycleMoy]

Superb.

[@pheart2381]

Actually works really well! Impressed!!

[@mikeburger1763]

BRAVO !!! Can’t hit the ❤️ button enough

[@S1rD4niel]

I kinda put the search "danse macabre ukulele" in jokingly just to see what would appear, but I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of the piece!

[@_runtothehills]

Probably the best arrangement of this I’ve ever heard. I thought I was totally Danse Macabre’d out (thanks, Classic FM) but this ... spooky and intense. Top.

[@pampusscat4513]

Ukuleles and guitar 🎸 are my favourite music to listen to especially your orchestra and guitar playing by hank marvin. All gorgeous music anytime of the day

[@tomjoad1363]

this feels so good to see you all reunited.....

[@irenejackson4193]

An excellent treat on a dreary Sunday afternoon in the UK, thanks guys!

[@alansturgess1324]

Great performance and arrangement - just goes to show that no genre is unsuited to the uke or the The Ukes. Also great to see Kitty in the lineup again. I bet Jonty enjoyed his solo and lead parts in places. Great job. 10/10.

[@deestephenson6709]

That was some kind of music! Well done all! 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

[@usmale4915]

This is excellent! I love "Danse Macabre", always play it at Halloween! Now I have a unique version. Thank you for posting.

[@tonywhite5557]

I saw them live in Auckland, New Zealand, a long, long time ago. One of the things I still remember (angst).

[@tomward3656]

Fantastic performance. Back to my school days when I first heard that. Brilliant. Thank you.

[@terrykinnard5588]

I had a music teacher called Mr Stockwell who introduced us to this piece but the Ukes even make it better!

[@jamespasifull3424]

Love it!! 😍😍😍 I'm sure Saint-Saens would be loving it too!! 😲

[@SeanVplayer]

Love seeing Kitty again. Always a great performance~UOGB .

[@brunoboaz7656]

The first time I ever heard this tune was when I watched the movie "Tombstone " when it was played in the "Faust" skit during the variety show in the saloon in downtown Tombstone.

[@raymondmuench3266]

What an absolute treat!

[@livingladolcevita7318]

brilliant guys.

[@cathybrewer537]

I grew up learning ukulele and harmony from my dad at our dining room table! Such sweet memories, but you guys take this talent to new heights and we listen at lunchtime for enjoyment and mental stimulation as our brains age somewhat poorly

[@mehehe13]

my favorite music in ukulele, it is heaven ?

[@karenlynnkennedy6162]

You are just fabulous!!! Thank you for proving ukuleles are versatile and can play EVERYTHING!! I LOVE listening to you. I hope our trio in Ecuador can grow as you have done. We, the Kokopelli Moonlighters salute you from Cuenca, Ecuador.

[@Castonorama]

Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank-you so much...so sorry we can't come and see you in Norwich this year...please come back!

[@carolrgoldenoldie2]

Brilliant, thank you so much

[@billshepherd4331]

[@peterlowe6064]

This has got to be one of their best performances ever

[@lordward879]

What an arrangement! Love this piece of music anyway but this version brings a shiver to my spine. Fabulous.

[@dilsonamorim3189]

UOGB the best of the best. Congratulations !

[@mikaelabowen5781]

Pure, exquisitely distilled, genius!

[@SergeyUdaltsov]

Wow. Top class musicians you are - and you demonstrated that once again. Thank you! After this performance noone can say that uke is not for pros or not serious enough.

[@billshepherd4331]

Seriously? Why haven't you posted this before? It's Great!

[@carlgray6764]

Thank you ... great performance .. and audio is spot on !

[@susany5530]

Ils sont excellents

[@valearl4693]

Outstanding!

[@freonxkipper]

Untill I've watched this clip, when some one said to me: "Ukulele Great Britain." The only thing that came to my mind was : "George Fromby" From now one I won't be so narrow-minded.

[@peterfrost6507]

I enjoyed this performance of one of my favourite pieces very much.

[@Mistralok]

Its so nice to see Kitty playing again

[@Bryo25]

Brilliant

[@watchgoose]

Wow. I learned this on piano and then memorized it. This is great!

[@Pjs75]

Absolutely stunning.

[@regbradby5599]

Excellent! 👌

[@reneelascala5050]

Extraordinary. One of your best arrangements-and performances. Danse Macabre is inextricable from “The Graveyard Book” (2008) by Neil Gaiman for many readers🖤

[@caru547]

Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed your performance.

[@eileenfostel2645]

That was great! I was bobbing the entire time with beat! Loved this!

[@caileew2834]

This is amazing!

[@Dragon1Grrl]

This has to be my favourite version of this piece :)

[@PhilPage227]

Brilliant! The best line up of the Ukes.

[@misstrekfreak]

Wow that really is something. It takes graft to be that amazing. Maestros 🙏🏻

[@NigelThirsk]

[@olgayesina2028]

Thanks from Russia!🙏💐

[@Sebbethy]

Could you please be uploading your marvelous version of the dambusters march? It would be too great!

[@menelise]

There's a performance of it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnatoXelnc-XbZI starting at about 6m 40s.

[@mikeandtriciajohnson7241]

I've had the privilege of seeing the Ukulele Orchestra live a few years ago at the Great British Beer Festival and bought a couple of their CD's while there I've been playing a mandolin for nearly 30 years and thought "That looks easy, I'll give it a bash" and bought a second hand 'Bluebird' ukulele for a fiver but for some reason I can't get my head around the ukulele, despite having a book to tell me how and an electronic tuner, I can't tune the bl@#dy thing and while the chords are fairly simple I haven't worked out how to play scales let alone melodies. It certainly isn't a toy and is a "real" instrument, I'm just too stupid to learn it.

[@megenberg8]

more macabre than ever!

[@rootpotato]

I seem to remember the chick in the evening dress being mauled by David Gest on Buzzcocks. 😆
