Matthew Quilliam

About

Think you know ukulele? Think again… With the world’s first all-ukulele degree under his belt, Matthew Quilliam is on a mission to show just how much pluck this little instrument has to give! During this one-man (and his ukulele) musical comedy show, all you can do is expect the unexpected. One minute you’ll be singing along to your favourite songs from Grease, Queen, ACDC and more, the next trying to keep up with Matthew’s lightning-speed fingers as he plays versions of popular movie themes and classic songs! Along the way there will be comedy songs, spectacular arrangements and maybe even a bit of tap-dance… Matthew is one of the busiest players of the instrument with showstopping skills under his fingers and gigs across the UK all year round. He has taken has headlined the Pembrokeshire Ukulele Weekend in 2025, performed his own ticketed show at South Hill Park, Bracknell in 2024, and appeared in many other prominent venues such as the Concorde Club in Eastleigh, Princes Hall in Aldershot, Guilfest, Weyfest, Swindon Oktoberfest and the Shanklin Hotel, Isle of Wight.
