    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've been watching their TH-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.

    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.

    “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
