Dead Mans Uke

13/08/2026

Getting our gear together for The Ukulele Festival of Great Britain this weekend...

We're really looking forward to playing in Cheltenham again. We first played this festival way back in 2010 and then all of them - originally as The Anything Goes Orchestra then as Dead Mans Uke... we've played on main stage a bunch of times, the Sunday stage and even the dealer room and busking around the site one year with our mates The Winin' Boys.

It's been a really important event for us over the years, meeting people and players from all over the world who have become good friends and working on our act year after year - we look forward to catching up with friends old and new.

This year we'll be closing the Friday night show in the Town Hall and also playing on Saturday with The Warehouse of Thieves, Jake is also playing some of the set with Charlotte Pelgen too so we'lre busy boys!

I"m sure we'll find other stuff to do too - come and say Hi!
