Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain 2007

[Klammeraeffchen]

Just had to stop the video because I was laughing so hard after Jonty said: "I spent all that time learning Schwarzbraun ist die Haselnuss." Would have loved to hear him sing that :D That surely would have been heiss...

[radicalyacom]

absoulutely amazing!!!

[krop0]

They are "zajebiści": in polish very, very cool :D

[denniscarman1]

I know there are two. But Hester has a heck of a clear voice in one of her songs.

[OldScotch]

"....warm smell of fajitas..."

Holy crap, so that's what they're saying!

[cepinobel]

Absolutely brilliant.

[Felidae08]

anyone got any idea, what that bit of music by Händel is supposed to be? I don't recognize it at all

[MasonTheHun]

@Felidae08 I believe it's a re-arrangement of Handel's Harpsichord in G Minor, 6th Movement. That's what it reminds me of most anyway.

[Felidae08]

@Felidae08 you're right! there is a certain similarity

[popyy11]

Captain James T Kirk on ukulele, @ 1.34,

sorry Ritchie but you do a bit, saw you all in Perth last May. Tremendous

[rdwho63]

My wife and I are going to see these in perform in Exeter in May.. We can't wait.. :)

[danielapalcu]

i can honesty say, in all my years , i have never heard something more pathetic than this...

[TattyboJangles100]

@danielapalcu Why is it pathetic?

[PurpleStain6]

Epic. hmm...2 people have no sense of talent or humour.

This is brilliant! ;D

[MekhetM]

love her voice, congratulations:)

[JCN841004]

EXCELLENT



[moberry5]

[sonnenkind2010]

amazing

[emintham]

hah marvellous..

[lexx714]

GORGEOUS!!! Every single bit... They're all amazing!!

[denniscarman1]

The one lady has such a clear beautifu voice, but they are all extremely good. Her voice just is really nice.

[athull08]

@denniscarman1 There are TWO women!

[denniscarman1]

@athull08

hello. I realize there are two women. I am just commenting on Hester's voice. There is one song in which her voice is so clear and easy to listen too. They are all very skilled. Hester also does comedy and the like.

[athull08]

@denniscarman1 you must admit, the fact you said "the one lady" strongly implies you thought she was the only one.

[denniscarman1]

The one lady has such a clear beautifu voice, but they are all extremely good. Her voice just is really nice.

[CT2507]

learn to sing first!

[rdwho63]

Absolute Class! I love it.. I bought two of thier DVD's recently, and they are they are worth every penny.. Skill, diversity, humour, fun.. What more could one want.. And some one was asking if there are more clips of these guys; yes there is; and you should hear them do Nirvana! Seriously!

[meganerdygamer]

That bass player has some serious skills!

[sitjar]

i've watched rather a lot of these guys recently.....if anyone's got more, please upload it

[ismail044452138]

[harasana]

[SupiKandy]

Killing me softly was great !

But the best is "The Good the Bad and The Ugly" !!!!

[Kheldim]

Oh, broken voice, but outstanding :P

[TheChiccoPowerman]

so awesome. i love it!

[beacon776]

I am so glad I watched till the end - that was outstanding!

[Ivanleos1]

Sublime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[AmandaCaines]

Handel would have loved this..... BRILLIANT !

[xJohnny9]

ha ha that's good!

[MasherAtolla]

Wonderful!

[hevog]

The UKulele Orchestra are absolutely brilliant! Fantastic - what music performance is concerned, this is certainly one of the very best acts which came from Great Britain in recent years. A MUST SEE! Don't miss them next time they come to a concert place near you.

[Mac260]

Their German is very funny. I watched Jonty over and over again to understand what he said. He wanted to sing "Schwarzbraun ist die Haselnuss". I think it is from Heino.

[sausibausi]

soooooo guuuuutttttt  :-D

[Magic67000]

Brilliant !!!!

[StankovicFlyVladimir]

[Kaspar1985]

[IrishHeart091]

Beaut Mate, Absoulutely Grouse! Thanx For Posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1971matteo]

Fly me to the moon

Where do I begin (love story)

Killing me softly with his song

Hotel California

I will survive

The first was Sinatra and the last two The Eagles and Gloria Gaynor but there have probably been many different cover versions over the years of all of them.

[mercury2980]

just for reference, could someone list all the songs featured in the finale and their respective artists?

[rainbather]

Probably not!

[mercury2980]

Fair enough

[rainbather]

By the time you'd thought you'd recognised one snippet, they'd already moved on two more!

[mercury2980]

yeah, although it quite easy by searching the lyrics sung word by word, I realised, which usually links to lyrics sites with the artist and songs, so finding them out from the mock argument at the start becomes uneccesary

[flyingfisbeefilms]

Amazing talent!

[countrypaul]

This is remarkable stuff - and unexpectedly moving when all the melodies interweave. Wow! (Do they tour the US? Looks like a must-see show to me!)

[floppaboppa]

Their homepage says "The Orchestra has given thousands of sold-out concerts across the world, including Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Poland, France, America, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. " So I suppose they go to the US from time to time, but I don't know how often.

But you're right, if you're given the opportunity of going to one of their shows, I strongly advise you to take it. They're definitely even better live.

[smiththeamazingdog]

I know it's no consolation to you, but live they are fab!

[leaveblank]

BRILLIANT ! 5*****

[twaar87]

just love how they do this! :)

[horo1984]

Original, humorous, and delivered with such panache. Brilliant on so many levels.

[fruitloop1589]

Amazing, great talent. Hillarious.

[hilly1690]

It's so much fun.

[AnitaCal]

Oh no! where ´s Petter!?! Is he still in the band? I hope so

[clockworkwar]

Peters still in it.

[tjones911]

[olaig100]

I am glad you like :-)) Ciao

[mevillious]

Brits playing American pop music for Germans. So G8 multi-culti.
