Title: Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain - on TV
Post by: twm on August 02, 2013, 02:23:27 PM
I seem to recall Richard writing about he enjoyed a performance by the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain and there's a concert recording coming up on TV shortly:

Maybe one or two folk here would like to try them out.

I'm sorry but it is not recorded on my PC and I have no means of doing so.

My guess is that it was taken from this:
