The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) is a wonderfully irreverent and talented ukulele ensemble in England who take pop standards, blues, classical pieces (and everything in-between) and play them in their own unique and unforgettable way. UOGB was kind enough to have sent the Windermere Ukulele Orchestra (WUO) an autograph last year. They are described best by this quote from Time Out as, "Subversive, rare and very precious... Frighteningly talented and awesome." You can find more UOGB here...

Gabe Walsh, a talented senior member of the WUO, had the opportunity to travel with his family to London for spring break. Eschewing the typical tourist stops, this young ukulele player attended a UOGB concert. The UOGB also kindly invited Gabe to visit their practice studio where he had the opportunity to play with the UOGB's George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux. My heartfelt and sincere thanks to the UOGB for the generosity and support of young musicians. Gabe's family sent these wonderful clips.
