Join ukulele group, The Nukes, for a road trip like no other – a song-journey from Rakiura to Cape Reinga, woven together with harmony and laughter. Celebrating over 15 years together the Nukes have built a reputation built upon finely crafted original tunes, comic flair and great musicianship, all of which have made them one of New Zealand’s most endearing, and enduring live acts – and their newest show is set to be a crowd-pleaser.This special performance blends The Nukes signature songwriting with a fresh twist – the inclusion of war-era classics that showcase the group’s warm four-part vocal harmonies. At the heart of it all is the humble ukulele, transformed in their hands into a truly musical and expressive instrument. Expect toe-tapping tunes, classic ballads, and moments of musical magic as The Nukes take you on a tour of Aotearoa – one story and one song at a time.
This all-ages show once again reunites original members Snapper, Ben, and Dave, and also features Dave’s son Josh (JayP) in the line-up.
