The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are coming to Tucson!
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are coming to Tucson!
Come ready to laugh, cheer, and maybe even sing along with a stage full of ukuleles playing everything from Tchaikovsky to punk rock — with a wink and a grin. Formed in 1985 as the antidote to mindless pop, egocentric rock, and the indulgent bluster of the music business, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain donned black tuxedos and began giving ‘concerts’ in tiny rooms above old pubs. Now, come and celebrate the 40th anniversary of this much-loved institution, on a white knuckle shopping-trolley dash through every kind of musical genre. From ABBA to ZZ Top, Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, Bluegrass to Broadway, all played on the "bonsai guitar”.
