Default Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain

Many here have probably seen these guys but I just came across them. Great performers.

We saw them in concert in Traverse City, MI in 2013. It was their first stop for their US tour. Awesome performance. They are very talented and funny. The audience is invited to bring their ukes for a predetermined song play-along. Fun. Definitely have to see them in person, if you get the chance.

A long time ago, possibly in the early '80s Iwas walking out of a msic stre in BrightonUK, when a chap with aponytail approached me ad asked "dfo you play?" I said "er, yes" and he replied would you like to join a Ukulele orchestra?"
I said, haha,no thanks!" amnd walked off.

That guy looked like Dave Suich - of course I can't be sure.

Anyway, I got front centre seat when they perfred oat our cty theatre a couple of years ago. Great (very British) humour and entertainment.
