The Nukes Ukulele Trio QE Health rec Hall Rotorua 21 Nov 2020
The Nukes, Aotearoa’s/NZ’s most beloved and enduring ‘original ukulele trio’. On the road again in the topsy-turvy year that is 2020, bringing joy and harmony to all they encounter.
This time they team up with local ukulele faves ‘The Thermaleles’ – it’s bound to be a night full of humour and great musicianship. Expect to have your expectations broadened …..because you’ll be surprised by what this wee little instrument can produce.
In their show the Nukes will be playing some old favourites from their back catalogue, such as ‘Lemon-tree’ and ‘Island Queen’ (and perhaps the odd request from the audience), plus a swag of new songs to introduce to fans around the country.
There will also be a special ‘limited- space’ workshop in which the Nukes will cover lots of fancy stuff, like interesting strums and chords, plus the joys of songwriting for the ukulele.
The Nukes are one of Australasia’s most successful ukulele/ folk acts with more than 10 years under their belts and 3 compelling albums as proof of their creative endeavours (and well in excess of 100,000 streams and views).
Don’t duck and cover, don’t try and be a hero…just gather all your friends and head for ground zero

Craigs Workplace Giving for Christmas in Waikato focused on front line
It has been a delight for us to again coordinate the annual Christmas-time Workplace Giving by Craigs Investment Partners' Hamilton branch.
We've now passed on $13,100 in grants of various sizes from Craigs and its staff to the five Waikato community organisations they have chosen this year, namely Cambridge Lifeskills, Cambridge Tree Trust Hamilton Land Search & Rescue, Paws 4 Life and Waikato Women's Refuge - Te Whakaruruhau.
Quinton de Bruin, Investment Adviser at Craigs says: “We’re really proud of our Workplace Giving program here at Craigs.”
“Employees opt in to donate from their monthly pay cheque, building up funds over the year which we then donate to charities in need at Christmas time.
“Craigs also matches employee donations dollar for dollar, up to $500 per person per annum, so it’s a great way to be able to make a meaningful impact in our local community,” says Quinton.
We say well played Craigs Investment Partners!
