    I have seen the Brothers live four or five times. Excellent band and a unique part of the local music scene. Their greatest classic (in my opinion) is No Oven No Pie (to the tune of No Woman No Cry)! Big Sean (and i think the rest of the band) makes himself available for a lot of progressive political causes, but especially the Justice For Orgreave Camapign.

    I saw the wonderful Portsmouth Sinfonia the the New Theatre in Cardiff many decades ago. Some weren't musicians whilst those who were had to play a different instruments from their first choice ones. It was a fine night. Brian Eno, Gavin Bryars and Michael Neiman were part of them. Many renditions are on YouTube.

    The Portsmouth Sinfonia in the Hall of the Mountain King:

    Meanwhile back at the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain......

    I saw them live at St Davids Hall. Very entertaining and very accomplished. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. A couple sitting next to us kept looking at each other and left at the interval saying that is was not what they were expecting. They didn't get it. Or, perhaps they preferred the works of Nirvana and Hawkwind played on more traditional instruments.

    Their version of Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush is excellent..
