The Re-entrants

Some Details...

The Re-entrants

Whether it be Bowie or Britney, Motorhead or Madonna, the Re-entrants somehow manage to get in all the hooks, riffs, solos and vocal harmonies with nothing but two voices and two ukuleles. Their abilities on the instrument belie its cute appearance and music hall associations, and whilst the audience may laugh at two large men with such tiny instruments launching, arms windmilling, into a rock classic, the laughter soon turns to applause and heads shaken in disbelief!

The Re-entrants have performed at The Leicester Square Theatre, London; The Acoustic Festival of Great Britain; The Assembly Rooms, Derby; The Dukes Theatre, Lancaster; The O2 Academy, Liverpool; 53 Degrees, Preston; Manchester Academy; Parr Hall, Warrington and have appeared on TV and BBC Radio 4

As well as headlining they have also supported Ade Edmondson’s Bad Shepherds, Mark Radcliffe’s Family Mahone, Chumbawamba, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett and toured with the Lancashire Hotpots

“...not only hysterically funny showmen, but as another onlooker observed, ‘they can really play, can’t they?’ ”

Review of Bearded Theory Festival ‘09

“Their act is so very strong: they transcend the limitations of the ukulele”
