This was entirely Maaike’s idea – and full credit goes to her for picking it.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain were in town, and I would highly recommend going to see them if you get the chance. They’re absolutely talented, and extremely funny. I haven’t laughed so much at a concert ever!
Firstly we had to get past the protesters (no pics unfortunately). They had banners saying “Say no to Uke’s” and “Keep NZ Uke Free, Think of the children”. Fantastic.
Anyway.. here’s a short video (not from NZ) which will give you an idea of what they are like. They came back for about a 20 minute encore.

Brilliant, am totally inspired, especially the whistling. I went to a uke workshop on Sat, and I can now play Happy Birthday and He’s got the whole world! Very cool
