The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, that’s the one featuring founders George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux, has already enjoyed touring in the United States several times. For those who have not yet encountered it, the essential point is that it is an original musical ensemble featuring only ukuleles of various sizes and registers, accompanied by just the natural voices of the performers.
In Europe and America the Orchestra are best known for playing versions of famous rock songs and film themes, sometimes changing these so that the expectations of the audience are subverted. Sometimes a rock song will be changed into a jazz idiom, or sometimes several songs which are known from different genres are combined in one “soup of contrasts”.
Harsher critics have stated the opinion that the Ukulele Orchestra formed their repertoire based on any music considered inappropriate for the instrument, with a “shopping trolley dash through genres” and musical history. For this USA tour the original Ukes chose from their exploration of American folk and blues, heavy metal, bebop and jazz, punk, reggae, electronic dance music and even Chinese melodies gleaned from their 2014 tour of China.
The founding brief for the group was to have fun and “not to lose money”. Incredibly, throughout its thirty year career, the group has succeeded in both not losing money AND incidentally making millions of dollars. It has been seen worldwide by audiences including members of the British Royal Family and other crowned heads of Europe, at the Houses of Parliament in London, and by many millions of television and online viewers. In one territory, the Orchestra has played to audiences which comprise sixty percent of the population! KINGSBURY HALL PRESENTS
BIO When The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (may one say that this is the one featuring the owners George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux) began in 1985, the public opinion was that an orchestra consisting entirely of ukuleles in different sizes was a strange concept. This was something that attracted the founders. The Orchestra members at that time had experience of many kinds of music and yet had become tired of the conventions of the music business world as well as the conventions of performance and genre stereotyping which were prevalent at that time. The idea was to make something fresh and entertaining, both modern and old-fashioned, in a different style which deviated from the current performance fashion. People liked the result. Today, after many years, the Orchestra finds that wherever they go, people are now playing ukuleles, often in groups. Many of these enthusiasts tell the Orchestra that they were inspired to play the instrument after seeing and hearing this, the original Ukulele Orchestra. And now there are many ukulele orchestras, some acknowledging the pioneering work of the UOGB, others claiming ignorance of this rich history, but none of them existing before this, the original Ukulele Orchestra. In 2015 The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will celebrate sixteen million minutes of “ukuleleation”, having been “on the road” for thirty years and counting. While it is not normally in the nature of these artists from Britain to “blow their own trumpets”, or in this case to “pluck their own ukuleles”, it is undeniably a fact that The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (you know, the one featuring George Hinchliffe THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN
and Kitty Lux) has become not only a national institution, but also a worldwide phenomenon. Among their many international concerts and festival appearances, they have “Sold Right Out” twice at Carnegie Hall in New York, twice at The Royal Albert Hall in London, and also at Sydney Opera House in Australia. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain have been featured in a CNN report in 2012 and featured on CBS This Morning in 2013. The Orchestra has been invited by the British Broadcasting Corporation to play live on air for BBC Radio 3 (the classical music channel) as well as for BBC Radio 1 (the rock, Electronic Dance Music and youth music channel) and live on other BBC channels many times. They have taken part in “The Electric Proms” (in a collaboration with The Kaiser Chiefs), and the BBC Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London (“The Proms”), where they were the “fastest selling late night prom in history”, selling many thousands of tickets for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London very quickly. At this concert the Ukulele Orchestra performed “Jerusalem” and other classics of the “Last Night of the Proms”, the celebrated 120 year old concert series which launched in 1895. Around 2,000 ukulele players in the audience joined the Orchestra in playing passages from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. A DVD of this 2010 BBC Prom concert at The Royal Albert Hall is available to order from the website, www.ukuleleorchestra.com. For those who wish to perform with the Orchestra in the comfort of their own homes, chords and words to accompany the Ukes during their 2012 Sydney Opera House concert are available on this DVD.

BIO The Orchestra has recorded and released records, CDs and DVDs on its own independent label, as well as with CBS, Sony, Discethnique, Longman, Volume, Tachyon and The Ministry of Sound, as well as appearing on Jools Holland’s Hootenany. Original compositions and songs by the Orchestra have been used on television on film, and in radio plays, as well as in performance by other musicians. They have collaborated with the British Film Institute in providing music for silent films and also musically with Madness, Robbie Williams, Ant & Dec, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Stefan Raab, Rainer Hersch and a full symphony orchestra performing at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Beatle George Harrison was a well known fan who established contact and played with the orchestra. In addition to performing at theatres and concert halls, the orchestra has also packed the crowds in at rock festivals
THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN
such as Glastonbury, The Big Chill, WOMAD, The Electric Picnic, and before 170,000 people in Hyde Park, as well as playing in seven cathedrals in England and Wales. The group has been commissioned to write commemorative concerts, eg The Cecil Sharp 100 Year Memorial Concert in 2012 and The 100 Year World War One Memorial Concert in 2014 for Birmingham Town Hall. One unique feature of this, the original Ukulele Orchestra, is that although there are many examples of collaboration, they have remained a determinedly independent concern. Relying on their own resources and an email list of tens of thousands they continue to run their own recording, publishing and to eschew mainstream advertising and record companies. Celebrity fans include Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Monty Python’s Michael Palin, Brian Eno, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, George Benson, Joe Brown and Bette Midler.

FUN FACTS The orchestra was asked to provide music for broadcasts about the World Cup. The orchestra has played WOMAD festivals in two continents and in two different centuries. The orchestra has performed many times at London’s 100 Club, joining the venue’s history with The Sex Pistols, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Glen Miller, BB King, Muddy Waters, The Who, The Kinks, Metallica and The Rolling Stones. The orchestra maintains its independence, in relation to record companies, management, publishing and touring and has its own CDs, DVDs, mailing list of tens of thousands, Youtube channel etc The orchestra has been a crossword clue in the New Musical Express, the newspaper which was for many years the key publication for popular music in the UK. In addition to performing at Carnegie Hall in New York on more than one occasion, the orchestra has performed at The Carnegie Hall in Shetland, the islands midway between Scotland and Norway. The orchestra has performed in the arctic, at the Polar Jazz Festival in Svalbard, but also in Tasmania, North and South Islands of New Zealand, and on both the east and west coasts of Australia. The orchestra has many “catch phrases” which audiences find entertaining. “A world tour with only hand luggage”, for example, referring to the fact that ukuleles are small instruments. Every concert from the first to the present day, has begun with the announcement: “Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, we ARE the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain”. For English speakers, the stress on the word “Are” is a little

amusing, suggesting as it does that the orchestra is politely explaining to someone who perhaps thought that a different group was on stage, and that in order to clear up any confusion, they are confirming that they truly are the members of the orchestra. A typical ukulele orchestra concert will feature songs sung by each member of the orchestra so that the audience can get to know each person on stage. Often a fast piece will be followed by a slow piece in order to maintain variety, and a rock song will perhaps be followed by classical music. The concept is that if a “level field” is maintained by playing only the one kind of instrument, then all kinds of music can be played quite easily without the variety appearing to be chaotic. One important task of any musical group is maintain unity with variety, integrity with difference, many voices all working in the same direction. This orchestra is made up of performers who are different from each other, and with very different musical backgrounds, experiences and performing styles. The ukulele brings them all together. Mr Hinchliffe says that the work of the orchestra is like a pencil line drawing rather than a multicoloured painting. The palate is limited but the possibilities are endless. The ukulele in the hands of the orchestra is said to be like an iceberg; visible above the water, but with much more hidden beneath; there are spiritual dimensions which are far larger and which are not immediately seen. Within the limitations and the simplicity of the humble starting point of the orchestra, there are many possibilities for exploration and variation. It may be the case that the very nature of limitation (in this case to the sounds of the ukulele) enables wider variations to be pursued (which might seem too extreme in a less limited context). Perhaps the limitation stimulates freedom within a defined context. Too much variety could be KINGSBURY HALL PRESENTS
FUN FACTS confusing, too many limitations could become tiresomely familiar. With their combination of “unity and variety, and simultaneous individualism and collectivism” the orchestra is able to make the best of the over-riding vision as well as the individual talents and personalities in the orchestra. Because the music is played on only ukuleles in different sizes, the conventions of any given genre might not be present. Sometimes the music sounds like folk music, sometimes, like a music without a tradition. The sounds of the instruments are not typical for most of the music played.
The arrangements of the music are specially made, often by the Director and Founder, George Hinchliffe, or by other members of the group. The focus is to bring out the spirit of the music, to be faithful to the musical notes, while actually changing the style or genre of the music by the mere fact of playing it on ukuleles. Audiences have reported that the music of the orchestra is variously, moving, funny, stomping, thought provoking, surprising, or inducing the audience by sheer infectious spirit to “tap their toes” along with the beat.

SIDE PROJECTS Ukulelescope The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain collaborated with the BFI (British Film Institute) National Archive to find a host of unusual and little seen short films from the early days of silent film. The Orchestra has added special music written by George and Hester, and a few re-arranged classic pieces of music, and produced a delightfully eclectic evening of music, film, comedy and pathos. This has been performed all over the world to acclaim from film festivals and audiences. Ukulelescope was debuted at Slapstick 09 in Bristol as part of the re-opening season at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. It was an instant sell-out, and was described by the BFI as “a triumph”. Dreamspiel The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has produced its very own Ukulele opera, which had it’s debut in London, with lyrics by Michelle Carter, playwright from San Francisco. This is based on dream diaries from 1930s Germany. The songs and dream images are reminiscent of “Beckett, Orwell, and Gunter Grass before Endgame, 1984, or The Tin Drum were ever written”, and are variously “painful, farcical, satirical and theatrical”. Combined with the individuality and diversity of the Ukes, the audience is connected with “the political realities of ordinary life; its fears, prejudices and ecstasies”. Waly Waly on the Ukulele In this show, with their ultra-portable instruments, the Ukes remember Cecil Sharp, the folk song collector who travelled extensively in England and America finding songs during the early 20th century. With his material they bring key ingredients of rock, folk and pop music into focus, and bring tradition up to date. The ‘folk’ songs Sharp found and popularised however have gone on to be huge hits in pop music and in film. Without Sharp, would we have had Scarborough Fair, The House of the Rising Sun, or even the soundtracks of The Wicker Man and Remember the Titans? In this show you’ll encounter stomping tracks and tear jerking ballads, English dance music and dust kicking Americana, from the origins of today’s popular music, explored with the customary light hearted showmanship, and the tender yet tough
THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN
musicianship of the ‘Ukes of GB’. They will give you an unforgettable musical experience, and a glimpse into the mechanisms of musical history, with their presentation of Cecil Sharp music and what became of it. Lutes and Ukes Members of the Ukulele Orchestra and the Theatre of the Ayre join forces to present plucked and sung music from two contrasting eras. “The realisation that one of Anne Boleyn’s court musicians, that Shakespeare’s lute player of the mid 1500s, and that one of the most inspired blues singer-guitarists of the early 20th century were all called Robert Johnson and all share a common plucked chordal language, set us off on a journey of the Johnsons”. This is a show featuring lutes, theorboes, renaissance guitars, ukuleles, the cremonese mandolin and the sopranino ukulele. With improvisations on ground basses in various styles, lute songs, blues songs, and some genre-crashing commingling of the common musical language of the plucked chordophones. Ukulele Orchestra music has been used in films, TV, advertisements, plays and commercials, and online video clips have been watched many millions of times. Collaborators with the Ukulele Orchestra have included Madness, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Ministry of Sound, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens). Ukulele Orchestra recordings include: DVDs: Live at Sydney Opera House, Live at the Royal Albert Hall CDs: Uke-Werk, Live in Germany, Bang Bang: Remixes of the Orchestra by a group of Ibiza DJs www.ukuleleOrchestra.com CDs and DVDs available from www. ukuleleOrchestra.com and www.amazon.com .
