What is Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain mean?

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) is an English musical ensemble founded in 1985 just for fun by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux. The orchestra consists entirely of ukuleles of various sizes and registers from soprano to bass. The UOGB is best known for performing covers from an eclectic and diverse range of musical genres, from classical to punk, via pop, rock, rhythm and blues, film and television sound tracks, plus a wide variety of other popular music styles. The songs are often performed with a reinterpretation, sometimes with a complete genre twist or are seamlessly woven together with several other well known songs from multiple genres. Musical comedy, juxtaposition and general humour long being a feature of the orchestra's act.

The members of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (the orchestra) wear formal evening dress and sit behind music stands in a parody of a classical ensemble. All members of the Ukulele Orchestra take turns to take up the role of lead vocals. Along with Lux and Hinchcliffe, David Suich and Richie Williams are original members of the UOGB; Hester Goodman, Will Grove-White, Jonty Bankes, Peter Brooke Turner joined the orchestra through the early 1990s, Leisa Rea joined in 2003 and Ben Rouse joined in 2014. The UOGB membership has not changed since Kitty Lux's retirement due to chronic ill health in 2015 (and her death in 2017).

The Ukulele Orchestra has purposefully remained an independent music group, unsigned to any record label. Over the years the orchestra has released over 30 albums, but have spent most of their time touring the globe, in venues ranging from pubs and community halls to national classical concert halls to jazz clubs to folk and rock festivals, to private performances in front of royalty; with some years performing over 300 concerts. From the beginning the UOGB has received critical praise from the media for its concerts. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has been called “not only a national institution, but also a world-wide phenomenon". The UOGB has also often been credited for being largely responsible for the current world-wide resurgence in popularity of the ukulele and ukulele groups.
