After an early tea, we took the subway into town, walked a few blocks to the Jordan Hall, and settled in for a fun evening with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.
Quite a few of their standards and party pieces, with a selection of new material. Seven in the touring ensemble, but a lot of the old familiar faces were missing, presumably as they are now at the stage of not wanting to spend several months away touring at their age. The orchestra has been together now for 40 years, so it’s not that surprising for the originals. Only Peter Brooke-Turner was on this tour, though other originals play when they are home.
