That sounds a lot different, and certainly more accomplished, than what I witness around here. However, I reckon some of my doubts arise from an earlier experience where we were performing at a festival, and were preceded on stage by a local uke band. We had spent a lot of time working up arrangements of some popular songs, including special harmony vocal arrangements, only to find that the uke band did rather lacklustre versions of several of the same songs in their preceding set. We then had to either hastily alter our set list, or crave the audience’s indulgence with a song they’d just heard done almost to death by some strumming pensioners. I sound like a right prig here, especially since I’m now a pensioner too.
