The Ugly Uncles was born out of a desire, shared by a disparate (and dissolute) number of professional and amateur musicians, to see if it was possible to have as much fun on stage as audiences could have off. Despite the handicap of being made up of a jigs and reels fiddle player, a multi-stringed instrumentalist with a hat fetish, the owner of the first metal body ukulele made in Australia, a boogie woogie tin whistlist, a retired guardsman, a professional window cleaner who doesn't own a banjo-ukulele but can sing the song and some bloke who hits things, The Ugly Uncles has been entertaining audiences for eight years. Remarkably, the band’s first CD “The Good, The Bad and The Uncles” sold out almost as quickly as Barnaby Joyce, but is now available again after being out of print for almost two years. The new CD "A Hatful of Uncles", a collection of more Uncles favourites and featuring Uncle Jess Guille as guest vocalist and ukulele player on one of the tracks, is now available from the Shopping Cart or you can purchase it directly from the band at one of the gigs. Why not book the band for your next function? The Ugly Uncles jug inspired blues, folk and jazz will delight.
