This October and November we will be touring the specially commissioned show ‘When This Lousy War is Over’. This is your last chance to see the concert that commemorates the centenary of the Great War through popular music of the time.

The inspirational show that includes stomping marches, early jazz, poignant ballads and catchy instrumentals, reflects the range of attitudes from the time; patriotic, pacifist and feminist, drawing on gypsy music, music hall, soldier's songs and even the avante garde Cabaret Voltaire in neutral Switzerland.

The selection of songs are presented with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain’s trademark humour, originality and passion. The musical pieces will be framed by a narrative, with stories taken from the original war diaries and memoirs written by relatives of the orchestra.

Catch us at the following UK dates:

Wed 24 Oct - Wiltshire Music Centre, Bradford on Avon

Fri 26 Oct - The King’s Hall, Ilkley

Sat 27 Oct - Cast, Doncaster

Sun 28 Oct - Gala Theatre, Durham

Mon 05 Nov - Stables, Milton Keynes

Sun 11 Nov - Birmingham Town Hall, Birmingham

They are wonderful. I want to see them again!
 
I saw them in Traverse City, MI a few years back. They were awesome. Do they still allow the audience to play along with one song?
It was fun to do, if they still do it.
