The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) is a British musical ensemble founded in 1985 by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux as bit of fun. The orchestra features ukuleles of various sizes and registers from soprano to bass. The UOGB is best known for performing musically faithful but often tongue-in-cheek covers of popular songs and musical pieces from a wide variety of music genres taken "from the rich pageant of western music". The songs are often performed with a reinterpretation, sometimes with a complete genre twist, or well known songs from multiple genres are seamlessly woven together.

rdf:langString Hinchliffe explains to the Chicago Tribune why the Ukulele was chosen — "It has a sweet voice, it`s cheap and easy to play, and you can carry it as hand luggage" and because the ukulele has no repertory of its own "it allows us to do things that are both entertaining and creative without having to meet the technical requirements of being virtuoso classical players or image-conscious pop musicians"

Songs are introduced with light hearted deadpan humour, and juxtaposition is a feature of their act, the members of the orchestra wear semi-formal (black tie) evening dress and sit behind music stands, in a parody of a classical ensemble. The UOGB has purposely remained an independent music group, unsigned to any record label. Along with Lux and Hinchliffe, David Suich and Ritchie Williams are original members; Hester Goodman, Will Grove-White, Jonty Bankes, Peter Brooke Turner joined in the early 1990s, Leisa Rea joined in 2003, Ben Rouse in 2014 and Laura Currie in 2021. Lux died in 2017, two years after retiring from the orchestra due to chronic ill health. Over the years the UOGB has released over 30 albums, but have spent most of their time touring around the world. The UOGB has consistently received critical praise from the media for its concerts. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has been called "not only a national institution, but also a world-wide phenomenon". The UOGB has also often been credited for being largely responsible for the current world-wide resurgence in popularity of the ukulele and ukulele groups.

De senaste åren har de uppträtt för utsålda hus på Reginateatern i Uppsala och på Scalateatern i Stockholm. Deras repertoar är bred, från klassisk musik till hårdrock. De arrangerar gärna om musiken med stort allvar men med glimten i ögat. Bland annat gör de Sex Pistols-låten "Anarchy in the U.K." i Simon & Garfunkel-tappning och hiten "Should I Stay or Should I Go" som lånats från The Clash. På repertoaren har orkestern också en version av titelmusiken från västernfilmen Den gode, den onde, den fule. De gör även nummer där de simultant sjunger och spelar olika melodier som harmoniskt smälter ihop. Humor är en viktig del i deras framträdanden. De undviker noga att förknippas med den mest kända ukulelespelaren i England, George Formby (i Sverige känd som Flygmalajen), som var aktiv på 30- och 40-talet. Dock har de en av hans melodier, "Leaning on a Lamppost" på repertoaren arrangerad i rysk balalaikastil och omdöpt till "Lenin on a Lamppost". Medlemmar i bandet är , , , , , , och (basukulele).
