Armstrong plays ukulele, Apollo 11 quarantine, July 1969. Footage of US astronaut Neil Armstrong playing a ukulele in the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) after the flight from Hawaii, arriving at Ellington Air Force Base, Texas, USA, on 27 July 1969. Buzz Aldrin is on the telephone and Michael Collins is also shown in this footage. The three Apollo 11 astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, Michael Collins) had safely returned to Earth following their historic mission to the Moon. They had achieved the first landing by humans on the Moon on 20 July 1969 as part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission (16-24 July 1969), with Armstrong the first human to walk on the Moon. With the assembled press watching, the families of the astronauts greeted them and talked to them by telephone. The astronauts were then taken in the MQF to the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, USA, where they were kept in quarantine for 18 days until 10 August 1969.

Trailer for the film 'Pohaku Trailer' -A film about Peter Hurney (luthier, artist, and craftsman of Berkeley California) and his ukulele workshop. This film follows Peter making a soprano ukulele from start to finish, set to a score by the fabulous ukulele player and composer Steven Strauss. The film uses very little dialogue- but relies on visual details and music, with the intent to glorify the process and appreciate the beauty of making something real. We also take a side trip to Peter’s living room to catch a glimpse of Hurney’s other art works, Automata Sculptures. With guest appearance of Steven Strauss trying out Pohaku ukuleles.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a group of all-singing, all-strumming Ukulele players, who use instruments bought with very little cash, and who believe that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the Ukulele. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain or as they are known “The Ukes” started life as a bit of fun back in the mid-eighties. Their first gig was intended as a one-off. It was a sell out and they went down a storm; they haven’t looked back. Since that very gig in 1985 they have appeared on radio and television around the World.  There have had many sold out concerts in America, Canada, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Finland and Ireland, in venues as diverse as Ronnie Scott's world famous London jazz club, The Royal Festival Hall, Glastonbury Festival and the Edinburgh Festival.  This year they have already had a sell out tour of New Zealand and on another fairly recent tour of Japan they were selling more CD’s than Madonna; albeit only for a week or so. A concert by the “Ukes” is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, singing, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the "bonsai guitar" and a menagerie of voices. The Orchestra use the limitations of the instrument to create a musical freedom with Ukuleles, (little ones, big ones, high ones, low ones) revealing unsuspected insights into popular music from Tchaikovsky, to the Goons, Hawkwind and David Bowie. Whatever they play it always goes down to thunderous applause.
