Dulwich Ukulele Club

A dash of country, a pinch of ska and a whole fist full of rock ‘n’ roll, the Dulwich Ukulele Club have plundered the musical omniverse to create a twisted skiffle band for the 21st century.

Featuring eight ukulele players plus drums, bass and glockenspiel – and all harking from the same street in South East London – this 10-piece band will put a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

Once seen as the gap-toothed, squeaky voiced, stumpy little brother of the trendy guitar, the ukulele has plucked its way into the real-instruments-only music club in recent years; musical maestros like David Bowie and Jools Holland have heralded its rebirth. The Dulwich Ukulele Club has taken ukulele playing up to another level with boot stomping, smile spreading gigs, and are regular performers around London as well as the festival circuit. They also pioneered ‘The Night of 100 Ukuleles’ at Bestival on the Isle of Wight – an orgy of ukulele playing for all the family. It’s time to get ‘uked’ up. Yee-ah!
