Heard it. Enlightening. So Formby didn't play a Uke but a Banjolele.... But Uke players still open the case, bring out the instrument, balance it on the thigh and then - put on That Smile - you know, the Goeorge Formby one, that comes out of the case with the instrument.

Great fun to watch!

Just caught up with the programme on Listen Again. The Guardian gave the Uke Orchestra and the programme a nice plug on Tuesday in an editorial
