PREVIEW: Qukulele Christmas Special

Graham Robson November 29, 2015

Brighton’s favourite ukulele band rock up at the Rialto on Sunday, December 6 with a festive feast of mashups and mayhem.

WEB.600

Banish those winter blues with some Hawaiian hilarity, seasonal silliness, special guests and songs old and new!

The band’s varied repertoire shows that any song can be given the Qukulele treatment. They harmonise, strum and kazoo their way through covers and mashups including Girls Aloud, Kylie, Meghan Trainor and Depeche Mode, along with a sprinkling of seasonal numbers. Even popular TV theme tunes have had a Qukulele makeover!

Their very special guests this year are Hannah Rose Tristram, chanteuse and accordion player extraordinaire; Al Start, with her own brand of uppy, quirky queer folk; and The Two Wrongies, the dancing double act who dare to do the dirty…

The night will be compered by Ali Hendry-Ballard of all female comedy troupe, Short & Girlie Show. Plus a starring role for The Audience!

Qukulele are a regular sight at community events, benefits and launches around Brighton and Sussex. They’ve had a busy year including appearances at the Stonewall Equality Walk, Brighton Pride, Paddle Round the Pier and a number of big birthdays – including a Calamity Jane themed 50th!

This year they will once again be joining Brighton’s LGBT choirs for the annual World Aids Day concert at St Mary’s Church on Tuesday, November 1, starting at 7.30pm.
