The Nukes Ukulele Trio QE Health rec Hall Rotorua 21 Nov 2020

Julie from Springfield - Tihiotonga

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

Book now and ensure your spot as ticket numbers are limited.

Latest scams to look out for 👀

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.

Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.

Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.
