Those Pesky Mini-Banjos

.
.
The other week, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain were accompanied by hundreds of audience members at the Albert Hall.

"The tally was rising even as people took their seats. One minute the rumour was that there were 500 ukuleles secreted about the audience of the Albert Hall."
" The next it was 800. By 10pm kick-off, It was being told that some 2,000 of the pesky mini-banjos were about to be unleashed on Beethoven’s Ode to Joy."

Poor old Beethoven.

But there is an amusing side to this....."Ode to Joy" is used by the dreaded eu as it's anthem.
Perhaps this was a way of blowing a "raspberry" at Brussels?
