Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra

On Saturday night I went to the Jackson Street Fiesta in Petone. The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra played and made it truly worth the trip out there. One of the best songs they did was Heartache (Bonnie Tyler). This made me smile for a few reasons - first because the group of ukuleles and one bass were so good, but also because my brother Mark used to have to practice to this song when he was learning to play drums twenty years ago (remember that, Mark?). It brought back some wonderful memories. 

This video (from You Tube) is of the Ukulele Orchestra - take a look and listen, they truly are a band for kids from 1 to 92! (Website)
