Wellington Ukulele Orchestra feat. Bret McKenzie Like a spot of Flight of the Conchords? So do we. That's partially why we're really digging on the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra right now – a really talented uke group that numbers Conchord Bret on its members list. Can you spot him in this excellent arrangement of Hey Ya? Who cares if you can't? It's all great stuff. Enjoy & thanks to Flight of the Conchords forum par excellence What the Folk! for the head's up. Chap Hop History & a banjolele Like your rap with a waxed moustache and a banjolele in a British seaside pavilion? There's no accounting for taste, but this surreal performance from the inimitable Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer is something you probably need to see before you decide. Peculiar stuff, but just try to look away – we challenge you. Come across any great ukulele novelty acts you think we should know about? What's your favourite ukulele Christmas song?
