A world-renowned ukulele orchestra is coming to Ljubljana's Križanke, which has been impressing with its sophisticated performances for 25 years. They are known for working with Madness, Kaiser Chiefs and Ministry of Sound. At the concert, Terrafolk will join them on the Križanka stage as special guests.
They started working in the form of relaxed fun and socializing in 1985, and their first concert sold out immediately. Since then, they have performed over a thousand times and appeared on television and radio all over the world; among them, guest appearances on shows on the British BBC and the German 3Sat stand out.
The members of the orchestra, most of whom were announcers at the British BBC, met in a bar in Hastings, England. As they say themselves, they were drawn together by the force of gravity and the first three were immediately joined by the remaining members, who together formed the original line-up of "The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain".
The members of the group have become good friends over the years, which is also visible in their performance - their concert is known to be full of comedic elements in the form of musical sketches, and their facial expressions are also fun, with which they flirt with the audience and create a pleasant home atmosphere , wherever they perform.
They perform many covers of hits such as "Should I Stay or Should I Go" groups The Clash, Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley and others, a cover of a hit "Dynamite" and it also entered the British chart of greatest hits.
Their concert is a musical-virtuoso party that, combining rock-n-roll and lighter music, makes every visitor start tapping their foot to their rhythm, which makes you May 29, 2011 in Križanke we promise an unforgettable musical treat.
