Kitty is smiling watching this
If these guys aren’t brilliant, I’ll kiss their ukuleles!
Tell two rolls I have three!! Hand sanitizer forever.
"Two rolls" is Jonty. I admire him the most, he's really funny. It IS all about the bass.
Just love your cat smelling the flowers ....!
I get tears of happiness every time I hear the UKOGB. I saw them perform in my hometown of San Diego California. I love that Leisa Rea's kitty cat makes a cameo at 7:36 in the video.
It's all your fault that we've got 8 ukes hanging on our wall and 2 in constant use playing with Raunds Ukulele Orchestra! Thank you for the music, for the fun and most of all for being so wonderful. We love you!
Fantastic! Watching this in February 2024!!!!❤🎉
Pedro Almodóvar would be proud of your fab movie- making. Hilarious.
Fabulous unique voices:
LOVED Born this Way 🕺
WUTHERING - a touch of George Melly vocals;
LOVECATS - beautiful.
Thank you black gatito for conducting - dad has a great voice as does the "daffodil" cat's mummy. Superb performances.
Thanks for taking me back to my wonderful musical world
I'm awestruck. Simply the most talented and musically whimsical group of musicians I've ever seen. Inspiring to say the least. You make me want to pick up my ukes every time I hear you, just so I can play along and pretend I'm part of the gang. Bravo folks... Bravo. Would love to see this group perform live. Bless the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain players. Peace.
By far, one of the most entertaining and creative musical groups I have ever heard. And, as a retired entertainer myself, I don't say that lightly. Excellent performance!
I came across this Orchestra when I started a group of Chinese students singing and playing ukulele. They are great, fun, entertaining, inspiring and you can tell they just do it because they love to do it. I am so glad they have that love and share it. Thank you for helping many of us get through the last two years with some happiness.

Just saw these guys at Warwick Arts Centre. Pure entertainment with lots of giggles and fine music!
Just wonderful. So talented, a total joy. Xx 09.35
Genuinely brought me joy after mouth surgery that has possibly muted my voice forever 🥲🥲
The scene with the frying pan was my first introduction to the 'banjo/uke' as a 5 year old went to my first working man's club. The entertainer on the stage in the distance was playing a frying pan. When I got home I tried ours and couldn't get a tune out of it.
😜😂😜
Even as a long time fan, I'm astounded by this vid. It's hard to express my appreciation without swearing, but this IS the Dog's B******s
Got to say Brilliant, lots of hard work to make it seem so effortless. Best wishes to Peter..
Although not live “as such”, a great compilation. Musically very good, singing and arrangements superb, coupled with great dollops of humour and great camera work....long live UOGB 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Musicians belong to a special class of people. I love you very much
Perhaps the best example I’ve seen of performance using the online social distanced format. Amazing!
Which there was no need for! I’ve ignored all the restrictions, never worn a mask etc, etc & I’m fine!
Thank you SO much. Please come to Philly sometime. We are much more knowledgeable and appreciative of fine Art and Englishmen than New York, so
don’t waist your valuable Travel Dollars on them.
Love your unique spin on all Pandemic hindrances.
Absolutely brilliant.
What a talented group of artists.
Thank you.
What a fabulous hour spent listening to you lot , a master piece in videoing singing and strumming worthy of an a ward , loved it all thanks so much xx
Que maravilhas! Belegan! Grandegajn muzikojn!
I've been watching their UA-cam material (not all of which benefits the act, other I suppose than to help sell tickets) for years and trying to persuade local promoters to book them. Delighted to say they've been in Belfast a couple of times in the last few years. I persuaded 12 friends to go, all loved it. They manage to combine genuine musicianship and inventiveness with humour. Best night out in the country.
I love watching the story within the story unfold during the songs! I love the direction, the arrangements, the choreography, the costumes, make-up, and of course, the singing, acting and uke playing! Gratitude to you all for cheering my heart.
Beautifully edited. Thank you UOGB for new material and personnel.
My wife, myself and friends have seen you live many times, watching the "old" sets and loved them all.
This set is so different and fresh and new .
FYI: The last track made me cry...an awesome, tender tribute to David Bowie.
Ukulele
Wonderful performance! Genuine talent! Thank you everyone who put this together, such a masterpiece! Who dares put a dislike!
You all live in such lovely houses...

Long Live, Ukulele Masers!:):):)
“O, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live.
The canker-blooms have full as deep a dye
As the perfumed tincture of the roses,
Hand on such thorns and play as wantonly
When summer’s breath their masked buds discloses:
But, for their virtue only is their show,
They live unwoo’d and unrespected fade,
Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so;
Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made:
And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth,
When that shall fade, my verse distills your truth.”
Sonnet 54
Wm. Shakespeare

@@longwaytotipperary I need to clean mi glasses!😂
@@KimSenior Leisa had the orange cat and Will had the black cat.
@@longwaytotipperary Got it, maybe my cat distracted me, like she always does when I’m not paying attention to her whilst watching a video and I missed one?😊
@@KimSenior makes sense! 😄
NOBODY will see this but with all the stuff going on now this gives me hope
Sublime
Thanks OUGB
I would like to see them in concert. I am amazed. Just moved far away from San Fransisco. You guys go to Texas?
They were a few years ago. Watch their travel schedule. They have done a US tour. I sat on front row! 😀 They also might do a pre show workshop. I also sat on front row. They are the Beatles to me. Amazing musicians! 😀
10:12 ...... is that a Jackson Pollock...?
When will you come to Melbourne Australia?
Johnty and his rolls of toilet paper 🤣🤣
where the hell did you find that small white furry bow tie for Will's cat ...it matches the black one the players wear ... :)))
When are you all coming to play in Manchester North West England UK
Love these videos brilliant!! What app did you use to make all those frame changes? Would love to do similar with my friends
