April 22 — UCSB Arts & Lectures to present Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

“Sheer fun and outright daffiness tied to first-rate musicality and comic timing.” The New York Times

Lady Gaga. Wagner. Talking Heads. No repertoire is safe from the artistry and insanity of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. With punk rock sensibilities and restrained British humor, this eight-piece band of expert strummers and singers has charmed audiences the world over. Devilishly irreverent and shockingly eclectic, the orchestra is a bona fide U.K. national treasure, inspiring an international love affair with its humble four-string namesake.
