@@biggerthanacadillac I will admit that my musical skills are limited to enjoying other peoples musical skills. Your moniker does have me mentally running through my mental list of cars when cadillacs were "king" and I seem to come back to Lincoln. 😀
The 'Ukes' never fail to capture my attention with their superb renditions of ANYTHING they tackle. 'Macabre' is truly superb & GH deserves the highest of accolades for his leadership & wonderful 'arrangements'....but 'they' ALL are such a unit....LOVE 'em!
I must say "I was impressed"! I have listened to all types of music in my 76 years on this Earth, but I have rarly been so enraptured as to this peace. I really think that Arthur Godfry just stood up out of his grave and walked just now. Huzzah!
Saint-Saëns, Jonathan Creek, Kitty Lux AND the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - - can it get any better at all?! Thank you all for this wonderful performance 💖💖☺️
You guys are so legit! You show the world that the ukulele is a real instrument! When I started playing a tenor 5 months ago, I heard comments like “why don’t you learn a real instrument?” It seems to me that poor Uke has been pigeon-holed and associated with Hawaiian music. This is not a restricted to one genre of music and you guys prove it!!! I hope you come out California someday...
@@PanglossDr Only that it is the ukulele orchestra of Great BRITAIN, dimwit! So there's nothing racist about his comment. Keep your leftist divisiveness.
I initially clicked on this one as an oddity, thinking I'll soon be surfing on. Sorry about that lady and fellows, how wrong can you be? What a masterpiece rendition of this unique piece, full of life (sorry, no pun intended - really) and a wonderful driving melody. I've replayed it four times so far. Thank you.
Ukuleles and guitar 🎸 are my favourite music to listen to especially your orchestra and guitar playing by hank marvin. All gorgeous music anytime of the day
You are just fabulous!!! Thank you for proving ukuleles are versatile and can play EVERYTHING!! I LOVE listening to you. I hope our trio in Ecuador can grow as you have done. We, the Kokopelli Moonlighters salute you from Cuenca, Ecuador.
I grew up learning ukulele and harmony from my dad at our dining room table! Such sweet memories, but you guys take this talent to new heights and we listen at lunchtime for enjoyment and mental stimulation as our brains age somewhat poorly
Great performance and arrangement - just goes to show that no genre is unsuited to the uke or the The Ukes. Also great to see Kitty in the lineup again. I bet Jonty enjoyed his solo and lead parts in places. Great job. 10/10.
The first time I ever heard this tune was when I watched the movie "Tombstone " when it was played in the "Faust" skit during the variety show in the saloon in downtown Tombstone.
Probably the best arrangement of this I’ve ever heard. I thought I was totally Danse Macabre’d out (thanks, Classic FM) but this ... spooky and intense. Top.
Wow. Top class musicians you are - and you demonstrated that once again. Thank you! After this performance noone can say that uke is not for pros or not serious enough.
Extraordinary. One of your best arrangements-and performances. Danse Macabre is inextricable from “The Graveyard Book” (2008) by Neil Gaiman for many readers🖤
Untill I've watched this clip, when some one said to me: "Ukulele Great Britain." The only thing that came to my mind was : "George Fromby" From now one I won't be so narrow-minded.

This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of classical music, and it's just SO GOOD with The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain!!!!!

The UkeleleOrchestra is pure enjoyment - a magical chemistry of great musicianship and humor.
Greetings from Germany. Outstanding.
Saint-Saëns, Jonathan Creek, Kitty Lux AND the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - - can it get any better at all?! Thank you all for this wonderful performance 💖💖☺️

Outstanding! Surely, Saint-Saëns would feel honored. Kudos to whomever wrote the arrangement. Well done,all.

This video is from 2009.
I love the brief exchange between Richie and George at the end! 😅🎶
In our house this has always been called 'The Waltz to the Scaffold'.
Bravo les British ! De vrais virtuoses!
wtf has British to do with it? Keep your racism.

An excellent treat on a dreary Sunday afternoon in the UK, thanks guys!
Surely the definitive rendition of Danse Macabre?!
Love seeing Kitty again. Always a great performance~UOGB .
Superb.
That was some kind of music! Well done all! 🙋♀️🇨🇦
I am agape. You people never fail to impress, but this certainly took things to a new level. The execution was superb.
This video is from 2009.
It was spot on perfectly done.
this feels so good to see you all reunited.....
Fantastic performance. Back to my school days when I first heard that. Brilliant. Thank you.
I had a music teacher called Mr Stockwell who introduced us to this piece but the Ukes even make it better!

Sorry that should have been Ladies.

Actually works really well! Impressed!!
What an absolute treat!
UOGB the best of the best. Congratulations !
This is excellent! I love "Danse Macabre", always play it at Halloween! Now I have a unique version. Thank you for posting.
You are just fabulous!!! Thank you for proving ukuleles are versatile and can play EVERYTHING!! I LOVE listening to you. I hope our trio in Ecuador can grow as you have done. We, the Kokopelli Moonlighters salute you from Cuenca, Ecuador.
I kinda put the search "danse macabre ukulele" in jokingly just to see what would appear, but I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of the piece!
I saw them live in Auckland, New Zealand, a long, long time ago. One of the things I still remember (angst).
I grew up learning ukulele and harmony from my dad at our dining room table! Such sweet memories, but you guys take this talent to new heights and we listen at lunchtime for enjoyment and mental stimulation as our brains age somewhat poorly

Love it!! 😍😍😍
I'm sure Saint-Saens would be loving it too!! 😲
Great performance and arrangement - just goes to show that no genre is unsuited to the uke or the The Ukes. Also great to see Kitty in the lineup again. I bet Jonty enjoyed his solo and lead parts in places. Great job. 10/10.
my favorite music in ukulele, it is heaven ?
Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank-you so much...so sorry we can't come and see you in Norwich this year...please come back!
The first time I ever heard this tune was when I watched the movie "Tombstone " when it was played in the "Faust" skit during the variety show in the saloon in downtown Tombstone.
Pure, exquisitely distilled, genius!
Probably the best arrangement of this I’ve ever heard. I thought I was totally Danse Macabre’d out (thanks, Classic FM) but this ... spooky and intense. Top.
