The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - Anarchy in The Ukulele

About This Movie

So, this concert film captures a live performance by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain at The Barbican, which is pretty cool. It’s like being in the audience without the hassle of travel. The atmosphere is very laid-back, but there’s an underlying energy that keeps it lively. The arrangements are clever, especially when they tackle unexpected songs like 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'—it's just fun to hear familiar tunes reimagined with ukuleles. The pacing flows well, with a mix of banter and songs, plus those quirky handbell/ukulele renditions add a unique touch. The performers have this charm that really engages the crowd, and you can sense a genuine joy in their playing. It’s a delightful blend of humor and musicianship.
