I recently saw them on the TV doing some covers -a search on You tube also shows some great stuff. The CD however is a bit lame -not enough ukulele work and too much 3rd rate X-Factor singing. They should stick to what there best at -playing instruments. Also the songs on the album will not appeal to anyone with more modern taste. I`m trying to like it, but will probably end up at the car boot sale for £1.
Sorry

I first came across these guys by accident when I was trying to google something up about ukuleles. I found myself bounced to ukuleleorchestra.com and went to one of their gigs.

Deffo musician's musicians.

Blimey. Well, that's what they say about themselves on their website. So here we have a novelty act with a strong didactic approach. And how long has this been going on? Since 1985?! Twenty years of ukuleles!
What does a novelty act do on its records? A cd is by its very nature bought to be played repeatedly - so will the musical jokes wear thin? I fear they will. Even the mighty Bonzo Dog Band left my particular building years ago. The Ukes, however they might be live, seem to ... Read More:
