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.

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
