Orange Blossom Special - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

This Sunday we are globetrotting over to the Sydney Opera House for our performance of Orange Blossom Special.
On Tuesday 6th March 2012 The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain played live on the main stage at Sydney Opera House in Australia. The performance was released as a co-production between the Ukulele Orchestra and Litmus Films as a two disc DVD.

It's great to watch talented musicians who are also having fun

[@stevej1154]

Brilliant! Even more impressive when you consider they were upside down.

[@tomward3656]

Very difficult to do but you people make it so easy absolutely brilliant. Thank you. So funny as well when kitty comes over & takes her ukulele back.

[@lawriealvos7418]

How good is this 👍😆 thank you, all of you 👏👏👏

[@marijowakley7770]

We have seen this Orchestra in Lansing, MI, and they are always wonderfully wacky and unbelievably talented. Just a great night!

[@emilyflotilla931]

I'm in SW Michigan, going to keep my eyes open for them! What a gas!

[@harmonicajohn1059]

They’ll be In Lansing April 12, 2022

[@dmswan3172]

Wow, this is a hoot - love how these virtuoso players have so much fun!

[@DeltadawnEmm]

Came across this page by accident. Fantastic. Very talented group of musicians.

[@dakotahstr]

Me too! Just now. They're amazing.

[@charlesachurch7265]

Never expect anything less than pure delight and enjoyment. What a team!

[@judithmaryhill4862]

Just love everything your group play. Only a group that has worked so long and so well together can perform at this high level. Stay stay and please keep sharing your talent 😍😍😍😍

[@williamd4707]

Saw this group a few years ago at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center in Orange County, CA. Very good, very funny, and shot full of talent. Great video and thanks.

[@heavyherti8892]

😍How much fun lies in such a small instrument. Brilliant👏👏👏👏

[@jhandle4196]

So is a wooden spoon and mom's pots and pans. Don't forget humming through wax paper around a comb. Hendrix used that on "Crosstown Traffic," so virtually everyone can cover a Hendrix riff.

[@zjelkof]

Thank you for this great rendition! Always entertaining - it's Rockabilly!

[@johncraig2623]

If you ever get the chance to see these folks live, do not miss it!

[@elainesandman9874]

You make me smile, deeply. Thanks. J.

[@Chhanks]

Lead singer has a nice, W.C.-Fields, out-of -the-side-of-his mouth style that adds to fun - and a killer vibrato.

[@patriciahiguera1724]

Just loved hearing them playing, very uplifting !

[@mariusjasinski8274]

Super dzięki za ten świetny program.

[@SerenWen_art]

Made my day, thank you! 😊

[@georgeplungis5283]

Once I went to see Johnny & June before they were married, you could tell they loved to perform on stage together. This was in Norfolk.Va. Well someone in the audience insisted Johnny do Orange Blossom & you could tell Johnny didn’t want to. He finally said he’d do the song only if someone in the audience he needed to borrow a harmonica but it had to be in certain key. Of course no one did but I thought how wonderful you did have one & got back a harmonic a that Johnny Cash had actually played.

[@prideofdurham4776]

These people have TALENT and in spades!

[@emilygrace1960]

The next time someone swallows water down the wrong windpipe, have them put their hands behind their neck and tell them to pull their elbows back. This opens up the airway and it's easier for the body to gain control much more quickly. (We do this all day with patients in the hospital and it saved an older gentleman's life in Cracker Barrel once when he started choking like this and I happened to be sitting at the next table.) It's a simple and easy thing to do without drawing a huge amount of attention to one's self. (Which is why we use it often. Not everybody likes the spotlight when they're struggling to regain control to breathe).

[@donnagray9579]

Thanks, I have a very sensitive cough reflex. This could be useful

[@patmiller4745]

Thanks. Just takes one drop of water to choke like this. Happens to many people.

[@pamalojo]

Thank you! 💖

[@TimmyB1867]

I love the way you take, what is often dismissed as a a cheap and simplistic instrument, and show that there is nothing cheap and simplistic to it, all while being very very entertaining, and talented.

[@terenchion1]

BRILLIANT STUFF... WELL DONE GUYS AND DOLL......!!

[@bronwynsteck]

We had just moved to Germany and my daughter was 3. My husband and I were in a band with 3 Germans, one on keys, one on the guitar and one rather serious-looking tall bearded man on a ukelele. After our first practice, she asked me: 'Who's the cross daddy with the tiny guitar? So hallo, all you funny daddies on your tiny guitars

[@charleswhite-ov2gi]

Out standing talent musicians; cheerio loves.

[@georgehinton250]

Superbly well done. Congrats UOGB.

[@patsmith5947]

Can you imagine that bunch when they were very young!

[@sarahbuster]

I am 57 year old disabled lady, who has just taken up playing the ukulele, I can not tell you how much of difference it has made to my life. You guys are an inspiration to me. I am hoping one day I can come and watch you play live. Am learning to play via tabs, do you all play by reading music or tab for ? I would guess you play by reading music. I will try and learn to read music, I guess I need to find a book, who deals with totally beginners. I would love to find a group of people who love to play the ukulele. Thanks for keeping me inspired. Love and best wishes Sarah.xXx.

[@laurawhigham8492]

Hi! I’m in my 60s and trying to learn the uke. Totally new to making music. Wonderful, free lessons are on you tube from Bernadette Teaches Music. Her 30 day lesson plan got me off the ground. Now, if I just had a sense of rhythm 🤔. Enjoy! Stay safe❤️

[@mattmcguire1577]

TAB is fine for the vast majority of people. Reading is a fine skill to have but not essential. Try to memorize pieces and have the tab as a back up. It is better to feel the music that way. Make each piece your own. Your local music shop should be able to tell you about groups in your area. Or start your own. Ours was called Ukeholics Anonymous. I'm happy to answer questions and help in any way.

[@bythebayou5351]

Start your own club! In the 1920's there used to be "mandolin orchestras" composed of mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos, & upright bass mandolins. In recent history dulcimer clubs have been popular. Not limited to dulcimers, these clubs would welcome any acoustic instruments. Ukelele clubs can be the next big thing, lol.
