I don't fear thieves, I don't fear scorpions, I don't fear psychopats, I don't fear death. But I would never be in a room with a person that is capable of hiting the dislike button of a video like this one.

Your Lockdown Episodes are a highlight in these weird days. 😊

[Qthewetsprocket]

I will start playing Ukulele with my school class (8-9 years) when school is open again - and for sure, I will show them this one! Greetings from Switzerland!

[catherinedagnan]

Absolutely great! Fantastic inspiration for a 64 year old who started learning the ukulele last year!

No idea who does your video editing but they deserve all the prizes.

Hi this is Tobe’s daughter writing I am a HUGE fan. I have been playing ukulele for a year and a bit now and already have nine ukuleles! My dad tells me when the amazing UOGB have put up a new video I immediately watch it and love the fact that you are all so cheerful in such a nice way. Thank you all for the brilliant videos that you have put up over the years and of course during this difficult time. I am always humming away all the catchy songs you have done over the past few years and the recent ones just as much. I heard one of you gave my dad a love on his comment thank you so much I want you all to know that he is very great full for it. You are all so talented in such clever, brilliant ways. I hope everything is going well and none of you are to sad to be split up. What a skilled group of ukulele players you are. You have made this world a better place thanks to all of your hard work and skills of ukulele playing. We all love how your all so humorous in a great way. Well done all. From tobe’s daughter.

You lot are the greatest thing to hit a pandemic! You were great before, of course, but y'all have outdone yourselves
Thank you very much for putting smiles on our faces (whilst turning out fabulous music) HUGE round of applause!!!!

[ratofvengence]

Wonderful! Love the humour you guys bring to all your work. And the background cocktail, cat, toilet rolls and embarrassed daughter this time around?

Keep it up! We need you UOoGB!

[Nicolaspurr]

Loved this! Dogs and children welcome any time in your vids! Thanks guys; you're a treat.

[davejp]

Your videos are brilliant fun and performed with such panache. Also so professionally produced. Lots of people trying to do this sort of thing and I'm enjoying many of them: but nobody does it better than the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Thank you!

First time I saw the ukes ?2003 in a village hall in north yorkshire, I came out with my face aching from grinning ear to ear for 2 hours. Similar experience watching this, well done guys.

[StephenCotterell]

What a joyous experience that was. Thank you

[Marygrange]

Je ne sais pas le dire en anglais. Alors tant pis, je le fais dans ma langue maternelle. Qui a dit que le confinement était social ? Non, il n'est que physique. Sur YouTube, Facebook etc., les artistes se réunissent, chacun chez soi, et nous donne le meilleur de leur talent. Alors, merci tout plein à vous 👌😃🙂

[davidsanders]

First saw the Ukes years ago in Durham, then the Sage. The wife was slightly concerned about my sanity when I got the tickets but she was a convert 30 seconds in... Now living in Normandy, so if you're ever passing some time... Brilliant, and thanks very much.

I love your rendition of Heroes, when I watch it during this crises and lockdown ... it makes me think of all the Heroes around the world ~ Doctors, Nurses, paramedics, Hospital cleaners and porters, carers, food bank workers, postmen, etc etc everyone a Hero. Would love to watch another new awesome cover of this song.

[FortyCouple]

Outstanding! I used to moor in the old Limehouse Basin years ago, and the blues brings back some great memories. Having you guys put your very special twist on it has been the highlight of my week. Thanks!
