That voice is a lethal weapon all by itself!

[allangardiner]

What a vocal performance! A triumph of self-belief over mere talent.

[TheRealJoseramirez]

Brightens my life. Irreverent and funny. Thank you.

[fionamessenger]

That last note made the late great Bill Withers look down from his cloud and nod appreciation. (PS More cats please, there can never be too many on YouTube)

[christinafong]

Smile-makers, everyone of you!
Jonty - DC must be shaking in his Crockett & Jones's now!
Peter - That was very well done! Bravo!
Hester - Love you hat!
Will and Hester - You've got some fierce dance moves there!
George - Hello!
Leisa - You'd make a beautiful villain!
Ben - Hope your fern survived!
David - Flowers NOT Bullets: Great message!
Richie - You have a very lovely garden! Lovely opening effect as well!

I have become a new fan of only one group since the shelter-in-place began. This is that group. I watch everything you guys put up. The videos make me laugh and get me excited to play, every time. I feel such great affection and gratitude for the members of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. I am so lucky to be able to enjoy your music. Thank you!

[alanlamprey]

Good job holding the infamous last note. Another gem. Thanks

[ratofvengence]

...You happened to have that doll...?
Love your work guys! Love that last note!

[Taffycat]

Oh my goodness, that last note was so impressive! Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed this week's performance, thank you all. :D

[ronlester]

Wow what a spot-on final note with wonderful breath control!

[nev]

The best thing about lockdown was finding you merry bunch. You never fail to make me smile.

[jjkay]

You’re getting even sillier! Keep it up and thank you.

[richiewilliams]

Wow! There’s been some raiding of the dressing up box on this one - looks great. 🙂Nice dancing too! Best one so far from Laura - seamless editing which can’t have been easy. 👍🏼🥂🍾

[mcwendell]

The best Thunderball performance EVER!

[idraote]

Extra points for the beautiful kitty at 00.50. S/he had a very Bond attitude.
The final note that went on forever...

[vifi]

OMG! No way! My favourite Bond episode!!! Too good to be true...can't take my eyes off of you!

[stamrly]

Oh kicking over the plant in style, the cat looking unimpressed you all shaking and stirring the smiles of many thanks for a smile on a Sunday. Amacf

[georgehinton]

That brightened a rather dreary evening.

[tjbissues]

Just what's need at this time... Thank you all. Stay safe.

[lilianalepore]
