Q&A with George Hinchliffe

[@Mick_Holland]

"... regardless of genre the notes were all the same." This made my day. Cheers👍🏼

Hello from Huddersfield. Brilliant insight to the UKOGB. Thank you very much George. Seen the orchestra many many times and can't wait until you're touring again. Stay safe.

the genius behind the genius . . . Bravo

[@susanh1046]

This was all very interesting and fascinating. Thanks for answering my question, that was fun!

[@c849243]

Please do more of these!

[@bubblenut6926]

Amazing as ever Linda in sunny Malta who misses you playing in deal as my next door neighbour x

[@michaelchartres]

I saw you and your orchestra live a few years ago in Cardiff and have been a BIG fan ever since. Many thanks for your music and humour. Michael

[@CryHavocWarGaming]

So very interesting, thank you for doing this!

[@longwaytotipperary]

What a fantastic musician!!!

[@pebblesstleonards]

That was really interesting, thank you for another great Sunday session!

[@Klammeraeffchen]

Was macht die Jungfrau im Baum? 🧐 Loved the Video. Great to get some insight into the workings of the UOGB. Greetings from northern Germany.

I love hearing this wonderful gent talk about music! I had a uke back in high school that I’ve fooled around with intermittently over the years. Now at 40, I’ve gotten more serious about it and have a few good instruments and a gig or two in the offing. Possibly my best night out in the past decade when the Orchestra came to Melbourne, FL a few years back at the King Center. Hope you come back over the pond when the world is safe again.

Love the Ukulele Orchestra! I have had the pleasure of seeing them in person twice. Incredible musicians!

[@michaelvassallo4841]

George, thank you!! Seen you all in Melbourne twice, hoping for a third and more whenever it happens. Could you do more on the UOGB history and how you came to be so good at arranging the music?

[@UkuleleOrchestra]

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback! We will definitely look at doing more of these in the future. Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@suer1562]

Really hope to see you in Dorking in June, George!

[@judithmaryhill4862]

Great to catch up with your background. Stay safe George and keep playing 😍😍😍

[@davidalford7291]

Wunderbar, vielen Dank :-) I found all these Q&As fascinating

[@freespeechforever]

Reminds me of the Art teacher I had at shcool, I ended up being totally fascinated by the sujbect. Well done George and thank you.

[@emilytolman46]

Hello from Provo Utah!

[@mototakahe836]

A fascinating insight into a group of muscians that I just love listening to. Of all the people thay I have intrduced to the UOOGB only one has not liked your musical interpretations. No longer in my circle!! Obviously a Philistine. Perhaps one day in Western France?

[@rhodachandler4277]

I had my tickets for the Mondavi Center in Davis, CA. Heartbroken when this #!@* pandemic required it to be cancelled. I hope we can see you in Northern, CA soon! Love UOGB so much!

[@UkuleleOrchestra]

We will be back! We hope are videos each Sunday will keep you going until we are back on the road x

[@wombatone5577]

Yes! I think you’ve got it it. I tried and I will try again but you need something which an instrument hasn’t got. It may be talent. Love your orchestra!

[@claredove5017]

Wonderful! Thank you, George. Nice specs!

[@Dwjzdljn]

Hello great music makers, do we see u a time in Holland? I hope so!

Hello from Lubbock Texas, home of Buddy Holly

[@mickmcgill5234]

Are use still performing George

[@linziherbert965]

Onya George 😁🇦🇺

[@bruceburton3515]

Canon in D? Bravo😁

[@biggerthanacadillac]

How's about "River Deep, Mountain High" George? [LOVE your stuff as an ex pro muso meself!]

[@AngelicusImmortus]

Would “Don’t fear the Reaper” be good if you changed it to “Don’t feel the reaper”? Or is that too far??

[@AndrewPetrou1]

Why has the name Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain changed to George Hinchliffe's Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain?

[@healthcareforallhawaii3336]

more russian songs! the lamp post song is mesmerizing.

[@Goatman333]

Seconded...'Lenin on the Lamp post' is just brilliant . The uke can sound very like a balalaika in the right hands. Given George's take that the original should be a cliché that allows the UOGB magic some scope - how about that most Slavic of soul songs ' Ochi Chorniye' aka 'Dark Eyes' ? Covered by everyone from Chet Atkins,Louis Armstrong and Kenny Ball to Ivan Rebroff ? ( just my two kopek's worth, I'll fetch my coat :-) ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bFZ2iZd755hpY

[@flogonurse5359]

Thanks George great insights & history - I started to play left handed 1 year ago & I love it. We saw you guys at the Opera House a few years back & enjoyed the show very much. I have a few favourites but this is my all time favourite so far -Wuthering Heights - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHeTh5R4rcdlbdk

[@jimfiggerty833]

That's hard work ...I'll stick with the spoons.

[@alfching2499]

Become a drummer. No notes chords or too much to think about other than bash,you can even do it with one stick
