Ukulele Death Squad describes itself as the world's 'most dangerous ukulele band'.
Well-known for their live shows which often result in the entire audience bursting into dance - the Aussie group blend ukuleles, vocals, congas, and brass to deliver a high energy mix of folk, jazz and R&B - all while showing the versatility of a four-stringed instrument.
Band member Matty Barker is on vocals and clarinet, as well as being the creative brain behind many of the band's songs. Ignacio Larralde is responsible for congas, drums and the baritone uke. They speak with Susie about the band's upcoming WOMAD performance and New Zealand tour.
