Leisa Rea Of The Ukelele Orchestra Of Great Britain; The Ukes Play AC/DC, The Who, ZZ Top, Bowie; And Performed For The Queen!

<p><strong>Leisa Rea has been a member of The Ukelele Orchestra Of Great Britain for 15 years. The Ukes - as they are affectionately known - have performed all over the world including for The Queen on the occasion of her 90th birthday. They look like a classical string quartet with their formalwear, but then they rock out playing songs by AC/DC, The Who, ZZ Top, Bowie and many more. A wild, entertaining experience!</strong></p><p><strong>My featured song in this episode is “It Is A Miracle To Me” from the album East Side Sessions by Project Grand Slam.
