Knock out uke stuff

"The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is phenominal. This cd does not do them justice. Their uke playing is unbelievable - but they are even better in the flesh - the humour (although they reckon they are not funny) just does not come through on the cd. The order of the tracks is a little strange - but this is a play again, and again, and again cd for anyone remotely interested in the revival of the ukulele and the incredible things current musicians are doing with this pure instrument. Listen very hard at the end for George Hinchcliffe playing over the telephone."

Hilarious, excellent - utterly dynamite ukelele playing

"For more than just Ukelele fans. The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain are 7 absolutely fantastic musicians, they are extraordinary on their instruments, have great voices, but it is there ability to rework the songs in 7 parts which gives the music depths and great humour



Where Ukulele Player Jake Shimaburo (sorry I forget the spelling) is unbeatable in playing the ukulele to its limits - the Ukelele Orchestra lends the ukkele humour, good nature as well as excellent playing.



I highly recommend this - you will play it again and again!"
