[@johncraig2623]

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

[@rogerbrinker420]

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

[@elainesandman9874]

Oh my goodness, had no idea these super talented performers existed! God Bless them! Thanks for sharing!

[@altareggo]

IKR!!! Just found them by sheer accident. This is just TOO EPIC for words, really.

[@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

[@DeltadawnEmm]

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

[@dakotahstr]

Me too! Just now. They're amazing.

[@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.

[@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.

[@charlesachurch7265]

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

[@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.

[@dmswan3172]

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

[@stevej1154]

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

[@michaelhunt7494]

The man, second from the left, is playing so effortlessly. His fingers are so efficient and fast, its like he is hardly moving. Great video

[@zjelkof]

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

[@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.

[@johntait491]

Excellent musicianship..!! 👍

[@rachelleaptrot6121]

Wow! I am impressed! Really like the ukulele! Learned as a beginner 1960. Still a beginner 2024. TY. Appreciate...

[@sandybanjo]

Very entertaining!!!!!!!!! Love the element of humour!!!!!!

[@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 !

[@southerngirlsociety]

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

[@peapicker]

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

[@pamalojo]

Thank you! 💖

[@elliotportner8020]

They are so much fun and great musicians together. WOW

[@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.

[@susany5530]

[@georgebuller1914]

To me this seems 'unusual' but, by Gad, its bl**dy entertaining too! Such great musicianship...And I didn't realise that there was such a thing as a Bass Yuke! :-) I wonder what George Formby would have made of this?...

[@michelledaley55]

They lower the 4th string to a low G from a guitar in some cases. Formby had no speakers to send the sound out so that's why he put the uke to a banjo uke as it was loud. Not sure how may others he did this too.

[@CousinAAE]

Good show, I highly commend your choice of instruments and mockery of sanity. 🤓🤓🤓

[@williamellis8993]

So much fun! Shades of James Last.

[@spinnersue17]

Have always loved this one, Dave is so funny and Kitty. Never seen this particular recording of it before though, which obviously came from Sydney. Been trying to order the Oz dvd's for a while, but out of stock.

[@UkuleleOrchestra]

Hi Sue, so pleased you enjoyed this performance. We currently do not have any of the 'Live at The Sydney Opera House' DVDs in stock but do keep checking in on our channel as we will be releasing more clips from the archives including tracks from our Sydney performance 😁
