Live show by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, the ukulele orchestra that has filled theatres across the UK since 1985.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain play the Exeter Corn Exchange on Monday 8 March 2027, with doors opening at 7.15pm and the show starting at 8pm. It's a night that's hard to pin to one sound, and that's exactly the point. They work with ukuleles across different registers, so you're hearing a full ensemble of them rather than just a few strumming along.
What they do is take songs from all over the place and run them through the ukuleles. The setlist doesn't stick to one corner of the record shop: they pull from Classical, Pop, Punk, Funk, Disco, Bluegrass and Metal, and there are plenty of laughs woven in between. It's a broad reach, and they play across it in a single evening.
They've been at it since 1985, and 2026 marked their 40th anniversary. They started in small rooms above old pubs and ended up on the international touring circuit, playing everywhere from Australasia to the North Pole, and from Windsor Castle to Carnegie Hall. The Independent called them 'the best musical entertainment in the country'. The show is promoted by Exeter City Council.
