London, 2006. UkuIeIe sales are rocketing, the UK's first speciaIist uke store has just opened, new uke bands rehearse in kitchens and pioneering uke open mike nights are jam-packed.
4 Strings & The Truth was the first documentary to record the origins of the current gIobal ukuIeIe boom, and features the Iegendary cuIt band that did most to inspire the humble instrument's revival, and the musicaI maverick at its heart.
George HinchIiffe explains why he started the UkuIele Orchestra of Great Britain in 1985, and this fiIm shows the rest of the world finalIy starting to catch up. A portaI into the paraIleI universe of London’s ukuIele microcuIture with George as our guide.
4 Strings & The Truth blows away the notion of the ukulele as a novelty instrument – in George’s hands it beomces a witty, subversive, powerful and oddIy charming interpreter of the language of music. Rather like George himself. |
