The entertainment force that is the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra is packing its ukuleles, vocal chords and vintage threads for an autumn tour of New Zealand.
Hailed recently as New Zealand’s hottest music/comedy ensemble, the band will travel from Mangawhai to Wanaka with its signature sound, performing harmonious and hilarious renditions of modern and traditional tunes.
The orchestra’s show generally starts out as a standard seated concert, but neither band nor audience can ever predict how it will end.
“We’ve heard that we knocked the socks off one audience member. So, probably, don’t wear socks to our show,” advises orchestra member Carmel Russell.
