After a five-year hiatus, the family-friendly ukulele trio The Nukes will play in Mangawhai on Friday, September 29.
The band will be doing workshops, as well as performances, from 10am onwards.
At the helm will be Dave Parker, accompanied by his son Josh and Ben Collier on slide ukulele. Parker says this revitalised combination brings exciting new musical possibilities, as well as the enhancement of the original Nukes classics, with the harmony and humour that have always made The Nukes crowd favourites.
The morning workshop is tailored for children aged six to 12 years who are interested in ukulele, singing, percussion and dance.
“We will teach them a song or two. It will be great fun, engaging and inspiring,” Parker says.
It will be held at the Mangawhai Recreation Centre, in Insley Street. Tickets are $10 and bookings are essential. The workshop will be followed by a family show that starts at 11.30am.
Later in the day, a further public programme of workshops and concerts will take place.
Tickets available from Bammas Surf Shop in Mangawhai or online at Eventfinda.
