I think the are a great orchestra and their presentation is just unique in the sense that they not only play the instrument well but with a touch of humour like no other orchestra. I listen to their song and always crack up

I am grateful to Taffycat who introduced them to me a couple of months ago.

Here are some of the best tracks that UOGB has to offer, this list is not complete as they are continually adding new work to their repertoire

They are great fun - and this year they even appeared in the BBC's Prom Concerts (Albert Hall.) The audience were invited to bring along ukuleles (if they could play - and I think they had to register first,) but on the night, there were about 700 of them, playing along to one of the numbers.
