Look no further than The New MUGs!

The New MUGs (The New Malden Ukelele Giants) are a 10 (ish)-piece band playing the best songs ever written – on ukuleles. Since 2014, we’ve been thrilling crowds at fairs, festivals, parties, weddings, even funerals, making sure everyone has a smile on their faces.

Some of the great places we’ve played include:

  • Chris Evans’ Carfest (since 2019)

  • The Half Moon, Putney
  • Nonsuch Town & Country Show

Crowds love The New MUGs because we play songs everyone knows and loves in a timeless style. We love to have fun and chat with the audience. Our stagecraft comes from more than 10 years of constant gigging.

We’ve got fantastic singers, bassists to keep the groove, and players who can do things with a ukulele you never thought possible.

  • The Specials – Enjoy Yourself
  • Chuck Berry – Johnny B. Goode
  • The Proclaimers – 500 Miles
  • The Killers – Mr Brightside
  • Dion & The Belmonts – Runaround Sue
  • Walk The Moon – Shut Up And Dance

Delightful evening, full of energy, showmanship and skill. Well done. I never thought that I would sing as much as I did. I do hope that the New MUGs return soon.

…a wonderful evening and I think I can safely say, enjoyed by all present.

…brilliantly entertaining evening. I loved it all, and my husband is still raving about it.
