They have now been touring Europe for many years, inspiring an ever newly-astonished public. For it is unbelievable, the sound that can be drawn from such small instruments. The mere sight suggests curious things: six men, seated, dark suits and bow ties, two women in black evening dress, instruments in their laps which look like newly-hatched baby guitars. "Ukulele Orchestra" is the name of this bizarre apparition and it elicits frenetic applause from its listeners everywhere. This British orchestra stops at nothing. They play ?Pirates of the Caribbean' by the famous Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer as well as Chic Corea's ?Spain' on their bass, baritone, tenor, concert and soprano ukuleles. After the jazz they go back to Mozart, nor do they flinch from playing Fleetwood Mac or Mike Oldfield. What happens onstage is the bringing together of virtually unreconcilable pieces from every musical direction: jazz, classical, pop, rock, film scores and their own compositions. What makes the concerts so diverse is not just the professionalism of their playing on the miniature guitar but also the fact that these musicians are excellent singers at the same time and, each after their own type, very different comedians who enjoy making fun of themselves in their spoken introductions.
