Bring your ukulele and play along for YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE

Back in NZ after sell-out 2010 tour

Continuing their world tour and sold out concerts in New York, London and Sydney, the exceptional Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are coming back to New Zealand with their funny, stomping, toe tapping, all singing, all plucking obituary of rock and roll and melodious light entertainment.

This new show will be an entertaining and virtuosic white-knuckle ridebetween twisted covers including Lady Gaga, Adele, Junior Walker, Black Sabbath and Michael Jackson, along with triumphant war-horsesand poignant lollipops of classical music, and some surprising original and quirky pieces which defy classification. With an engaging mix that is at times equal parts physical comedy and artistic virtuosity, the orchestra uses only the ukulele..

Grab your friends and family and enjoy a night out like no other with the band that the New York Times recently named as one of the five best concerts of the year.
