One night in the middle of the night there were a series of noises coming from above which lead to a series of thoughts. It sounded like something was working. Building something… A nest for its family? A trap for its prey? This led to more thoughts about unseen things at work. A God? A voice in your head? It all feels kind of made up until someone responds to it.

Composer, violinist, and vocalist Layale Chaker, and acclaimed harpist Maeve Gilchrist come together to draw from the musical vocabularies of their respective lineages—Levantine and Celtic—imagining the threads that quietly stitch together inherited worlds, the whispers of old tales passed down by grandmothers, the shadowed weight of mythologies and superstitions, scattered across time and distance.

Their collaboration, "Smoke Veins," traces melodic and rhythmic contours shaped by centuries of oral tradition: the echoes of old stories, mythologies, and superstitions carried across time and distance.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has achieved—almost by accident—international critical acclaim as the most entertaining pluckers in the world.

Somewhere between punk and classical sensibilities and between serious musicianship and restrained British humour, their forty-year career has taken them to Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury festival, the North Pole, China, Japan, Australia, the USA and Canada, winning hordes of friends, fans and imitators along the way.

Born of a rejection of convention and a penchant for radical reinterpretation of familiar songs, their catalogue is a cocktail cabinet of rock, pop, jazz, blues and classical music, performed with dry wit and a flair for truly original toe-tapping, roof-raising renditions. A happy blend of the not-too-silly and the not-too-serious.

With fans ranging from the late Queen and the current King of England to David Bowie and beyond, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are unmissable.
