The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain Proudly Presents:

 

2.3.  20.00 UKULELESCOPE

  The UOGB have collaborated with BFI National Archive to find a host of unusual and little seen gems from the early days of silent film, and have sculpted them into a delightfully eclectic evening of music, film, comedy and pathos. This mixed bill combines short films and clips including adverts, singing pictures, actualities, dramas, Science and nature, hints and hobbies and documentary footage to amaze, amuse and baffle. All of this, of course, presented in the UOGB’s own inimitable style, and set to a programme of original and carefully chosen old favourites from musical history.
The show was created and produced by Hester Goodman. All original music by Hester Goodman and George Hinchliffe, and performed by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

Instead of taking a feature film, or, indeed, several short films, the idea was to take clips, and short items of no longer than 7 minutes. This was partly a nod to the mixed bills of evenings from the early 1900s, where audiences would enjoy a variety of entertainment which included music, interest films (educational or informative), adverts, comedy and drama. It was also an attempt to marry what the UOGB already does, as a band, with the task of providing music for silent film. As a result, we have a show in two halves, made up of pieces of music lasting between 3 and 9 minutes, each with its own piece of film. And so, neither a traditional film evening, nor a traditional music evening.

"Ukulelescope takes you on a delightful mystery tour into the past, a beautifully judged match of silent-film snippets and evocative tunes, all delivered with the Orchestra's usual wit and panache. Awesome!"
Helen Hawkins, Sunday Times
