They performed at the 50th anniversary VE day celebrations in Hyde Park before an estimated audience of 170,000 in 1995 and have toured world wide playing in many international venues, including Glastonbury Festival (2005), New York's Carnegie Hall (2009, 2012), and the Sydney Opera House (2012). On Tuesday 18 August 2009 the UOGB performed in a late night prom in the BBC Proms 2009 Season at London's Royal Albert Hall, where they were the “fastest selling late night prom in history”. The performance was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and received much critical acclaim. This concert included a version of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" in which at least 1000 audience members participated with Ukuleles. A DVD of the performance, "Prom Night", was released the same year. In 2016 they entertained Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle at a private party to celebrate the queen's 90th birthday.
