I imagine that he will mostly be playing one of those gigantic 6 string ukes that are tuned funny . . .

“The Ukes Are Coming” to The Fringe – brilliant show!

LizzieLeave a comment

Excellent show! Great musicians, wonderful vocalists, especially Oli Peacock – what a voice – and terrific arrangements. I think “The Love Cats” was my favourite but very difficult to choose a “best of” as the whole set was fantastic!

Fringe

Two boys. Two girls. Four ukuleles. From Elvis to Elgar, ‘Greensleeves’ to Gaga. The freshest act in Edinburgh set the stage alight (in a small way) as they take on a medley of madness – Stereophonics, Debussy, Queen, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Enya, Electric 6, Scissor Sisters, Kasabian and Dolly Parton to name but a few – in a microtastic hour of dizzying entertainment. Stunning and inventive music from the band that dares to be small. Prepare to get uked!
