GCS Ukulele Ensemble

Guildford County School is a Specialist Music College which boasts eleven choirs and twelve thriving instrumental ensembles.

It has a local and national reputation for inspiring boys to sing, with its 150 strong Boys Choir being featured as a shining light on Gareth Malone’s BBC BAFTA winning documentary The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing.

They have also featured on Howard Goodall’s radio series Class Acts, as well as recently providing a soundtrack for a Radio 4 play. The confidence gained from this strong male singing ethos has fuelled and supported many school ensembles. The GCS Ukulele Ensemble is one such group.
