“Ukeboxbaby are exceptional entertainers and bring a true magic to the kid’s world”
Daniel Stockland – Proprietor of the Big Beach Café
Ukeboxbaby delight in providing musical extravaganzas for families!
Our shows are interactive with live music, filled with bubbles, glitter, dancing, singing and more!

Interactive
Ukeboxbaby entertain children and families with their interactive musical ukulele shows for 0-10 year olds. Ukeboxbaby shows are possibly the most interactive shows out there for children, with optional ukulele lessons on stage, ribbon sticks, bubbles and giant balloons, water guns, amazing props, costumes and more.
Live Music
Songs are performed live by Ukeboxbaby founder, teacher and mum Penny, AKA ‘Melody Mermaid’ and her family, plus occasional guest performers and choirs. Penny’s husband, ‘DJ Daddy’ brings a dance music element to the shows, taking parents down memory lane, making it fun for them too.
For Families
As a mum and a performing family, Ukeboxbaby, know that parenting is an incredible gift and also lots of hard work, so they aim to give families a way to relax, unwind and have fun together through their shows.
Educational
Founder of Ukeboxbaby, Penny, is an ex-teacher and mum, so she knows how to keep children entertained and compiles her shows in line with EYFS, ensuring children go away having learnt something new. Penny is a firm believer that music is the strongest form of magic, and understands its proven benefits, such as enhancing cognitive ability, elevating mood and improving well-being.

About
Ukeboxbaby was created by Penny in London twelve years ago, when she had her first baby. She started by running baby music classes for friends. These paused for a while, but then started back up in Brighton four years ago, with additional ukulele afterschool clubs. Penny then went onto perform family musical shows in Brighton and these really took off – bursting onto the children’s music entertaiment scene in a puff of glitter, bubbles and streamers. Ukeboxbaby shows started securing huge gigs, including Camp Bestival, a leading family music festival on one of the largest stages – The Big Top, which holds 5,000 people. (Ukeboxbaby has performed at this award winning festival for the last four years.)
Ukeboxbaby has performed at Brighton Fringe Festival to sell-out audiences for three years, running on some of the largest stages. Other performances include no less than Brighton’s acclaimed Komedia theatre, Brighton’s Spiegeltent, Fat Boy Slim’s Big Beach Cafe for four years running, Elderflower Fields Festival, Latitude Festival and many more, always to sell-out audiences. Ukeboxbaby have now taken their shows abroad to Barbados with have been invited back again.
Penny is on a mission to spread the joy of music to growing minds through the power of the ukulele.

Ukeboxbaby founder, Penny Honey, has created five extremely creative shows:
- ‘The Rainbow Fish’ based in the sea
- ‘Monkey Snap’, based in the jungle
- ‘Into The Stars’ based in space
- ‘Hungry Caterpillar’
- ‘Stickman Christmas Show’
Each show has a poignant moral message and includes optional simple ukulele lessons on stage for the children. The shows include covers and original songs that parents recognise from the dance scene, children’s songs, often mixed in with a dance beat by Ukeboxbaby’s resident DJ, ‘DJ Daddy’, plus Ukeboxbaby’s own songs, produced for the show. You can find Ukeboxbaby’s songs on Spotify and Apple Music.
