The whole night was fantastic. I've wanted to see these guys for years. They are consumat professionals with bundles humour. The venue is amazing too. Would have loved to have see Bowie there back in the day.

This is the third time I’ve seen them and it was entertaining as before. They seem to have a lot of fun and that spills over to how the audience feels. There is some talent too!
A great range of musicTook my 17 yo daughter and even she thought it was a good evening, despite not getting many of the references (eg George Formby and Champion The Wonder Horse- now that’s a blast from the past).
I will try to get tickets to see them again, it’s a joyous evening.

Incredible seeing them in person after so many years. The perfect mix of musical talent and great humour. A pure joy to see. The venue was perfect too. It felt intimate and the acoustics for it were spot on also.
Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom@Rose Theatre
Excellent gig from TUOOGB on Saturday.
My mate who is in a wheelchair, were parked up in
Front row , with excellent views, approx 2 metres away!!
Split into two halves 50 mins and 60mins with 20 min break.
All seven musicians were immaculate and melded into a cohesive
Sound.All had their moments to shine, which they grabbed gloriously.
A varied catalogue of different genres were performed to rapturous
Applause from an Edinburgh audience.
A largely older crowd, including us late 60s, interspersed with a few
Children surprisingly , lapped up the music.
Special mention to newcomer Laura Currie the latest addition, who fitted
In brilliantly. These guys are all experts performing the ukulele.
How tall is Peter, looks like 7 foot tall? Is George Hinchcliffe still in the band?
Look forward to next time..How about coming to Dunfermline, Carnegie Hall
Holds over 500 or Alhambra which is bigger 1500. I’m sure the Fifers would
Appreciate the show. Here’s hoping for a future gig on homeland.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom@The Queen's Hall
Such a fun, talented group of musicians. I brought my 10 year old son, who was pretty skeptical. By the end of the show he was asking when we can see the Ukulele Orchestra again. We'll definitely be seeing them on their 2025 tour.
Troy, NY@Troy Savings Bank Music Hall
Very entertaining performance… high energy, eclectic music genre selections, virtuoso ukelele playing and vocal talent layered with vibrant wit and physical comedy. Midland Center for the Arts is a wonderful venue with plentiful parking and very helpful staff especially noticeable in how they accommodate and assist the physically impaired
Midland, MI@Midland Center for the Arts
I love this group. They are talented, witty, and their presentations are impeccable. Followed them for years on YouTube and couldn't miss when they came to my area. What a treat! Thank you guys for another great performance, but this time live!
Houston, TX@Cullen Theater
A WOW of a show. Saw them originally on Youtube and had to go see them when they were in the area. A lot of the audience missed them doing their routine where they are playing behind each other's necks. I have seen that on Youtube many times and was looking forward to seeing it live.
Richardson, TX@Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations
A great night out. Venue as always were friendly and welcoming and flexible about seating. UOOGB were great as always, and especially got got things moving at the end. They even persuaded me to buy a tea-towel! It was a thrill when George came to sit near us for part for the evening.
5 out of 5.

Absolutely brilliant! Such a diverse group of skilled musicians, music arrangements, quietly and gently witty and entertaining and in such a great venue with drinks snacks and tea available. You couldn’t ask for better ! Drive from Belfast and back was well worth the journey and would do it again!
Dublin, Ireland@National Concert Hall
After some sound issues and an impromptu history lesson from the Ukulele Orchestra’s founder George Hinchcliffe, the delayed start did not throw the orchestra at all. I’ve seen them perform many times over the years, indeed with just two of those who I started watching on stage. The audience is always treated to each musician displaying their full repertoire beyond outstanding Ukulele playing, be that singing, dancing, or superb patter between each number. If you’ve seen them before and think you have seen it all, go again when you can to experience the many new songs and innovative ways of presenting them. The orchestra are clearly in rude health and will be entertaining us for many years to come.
Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom@Rose Theatre
What an amazing combination of fun and talent.
The music was top notch AND the fun entertainment part was fun.
All together an evening to think of over and over.
I have now bought a CD and will be watching for their USA return.
Lynchburg, VA@Academy Center of the Arts
We have watched this group on YouTube over the past couple of years and have always wanted to see them. We came travelled from Jonesborough TN to Lynchburg, VA to enjoy their performance! Plus I play the ukulele, so this group inspires me greatly!! Absolutely a wonderful and funny talented group of artists!
Lynchburg, VA@Academy Center of the Arts
The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain has such joyous energy. The chemistry between the players is wonderful. What a great place too - the Caramoor Center in Katonah, NY was a lovely venue with antiques and real art and gorgeous architecture. Every single person I spoke to was friendly and happy to be there. We laughed and we listened in awe to these very talented musicians. Wishing I could see them again next week!
Katonah, NY@Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts
This was my first concert in person with this group, and my first at this venue as well. I purchased tickets with a military discount, which meant that they were held at Will Call for me for 4 months until the event. This was no problem for the venue, and the process of picking them up was smooth, as was the FREE parking.
This group is AMAZING, and one that should be seen in person! From the first moment, all the way to the end, it was enjoyable, entertaining, and one I'd see again (as many in the audience were doing, it seemed). The tickets were a great value for the money. It's no wonder that their fans follow them from town to town and see them whenever they come to their part of the U.S., they are that good. So glad I was able to drive out to Indianapolis from St. Louis to see them. I'd do it again.
Carmel, IN@The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts
Not at all what I expected! Lots of humor, music, and fun interpretations of songs I knew. I loved all the different sounds that the orchestra created using the ukulele. Loved the audience reaction, and they played off our reaction as well. I'd see them again if they came to the area.
Davis, CA@Mondavi Center
We were somewhat leery about attending this concert, in that it was an hour away and many of our favorites were no longer with the Orchestra. No worries! The concert was truly great, full of their trademark virtuosity and humor. We have notified friends who are in cities where the Orchestra will be performing to no not miss this event.

They were great! I have tried for a long time to attend one of their concerts, but they were either sold out or on a night I couldn't make it. And then, Covid hit! So glad I was able to go see them this time around. It was well worth the 8 hour trip we made to St. Joseph to see them!
Saint Joseph, MN@College of Saint Benedict
Golly I don't know why I got this request for a review. I didn't see the show. I'd love to see the show...I follow you all on the computer....you've brought me so much joy..especially during those dark, shut in days.
Please come to Greensboro, NC ASAP....we have many lovely venue's and I could personally round up at least thirty ukulele players to there...just me!
You are a light in an often :( world. Please come to visit....please.....
Lewisburg, PA@Weis Center for the Performing Arts
The UOGB concert was as the British say "Brilliant"! They did not disappoint. It started right on time and they played from 8:00 pm until 10:00 pm with a short intermission.
Their playlist covered all genres of music and their wit and talent was fantastic! I got to meet Dave, Ben and Jonty before the show outside and they were so friendly and funny. Not just a glad you came to the show conversation and then disappear Such great personalities! That truly put the icing on the cake for me! (There was no meet and greet at the end of the show, I think because of covid)
The best part was that they played my favorite song "Heroes" as their encore.
I sure hope that they return to Lafayette College on their next US tour. The theater is a great venue. Small and personal. Not a bad seat in the house.
I messaged Leisa on her fan page the next morning and I couldn't believe that I got a response within hours. You can tell that the members of the group are truly grateful for their fans.
Can't say enough about such a wonderful night!! (Or maybe I have, lol)
