  • Bio

    ......11 ukuleles and a double bass rocking it on the four-string in the capital city of New Zealand....... The dozen-strong strummers of the WIUO faithfully reproduce hit songs from across the musical spectrum. They are a consistent sell-out act in their home country, where the ukulele has been a beloved instrument since its appearance on the first official New Zealand pop single. .. The orchestra provides harmonious and hilarious renditions of classics, rock hits and folk tunes as well as songs in their country’s native tongue. The comedy comes from the witty banter, but when the WIUO bursts into song it could go several ways: the sweet sounds can silence a room in a nanosecond, or bring a crowd of thousands to their feet. .. At their gigs, you can expect inviting sing-a-longs, outstanding instrumentals, well-dressed individuals, sparkling harmonies and comic banter. The WIUO has rocked rock venues, botanic gardens and vineyards, and they've also been known to rock libraries, museums, art galleries and the inter-island ferry. .. .. .. We edited our profile with some awesomely basic html code including the classic "marquee" command (it still works!) and ..Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1.., however some amongst us are way better at web design, particularly if you visit ..Alto, just for example... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. Our hot new music video: 'It's A Heartache' directed by Tim Capper.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
