“I love your music”
It’s ukulele folks, but not as we know it. Original, inventive and very kiwi, The Nukes have been wowing audiences up and down Aotearoa and across the ditch for over a decade. They’ve performed at events as diverse as Arts and Folk festivals to WOMAD in New Plymouth, and their appeal is wide.
An important aspect of the Nukes work is visiting schools. A typical visit involves a workshop with a group of keen ukulele students (15 is the optimum number for each session - with various levels of skill and experience).
After learning the fundamental skills required to play the Nukes tunes and NZ Waiata the workshop participants then become part of the band, performing with The Nukes in a whole school show. The visit is interactive and hands-on as well as being informative, entertaining and highly engaging.
No teacher experience is required as all the resources are provided with online tutorials and Photocopiable Music-sheets.
Each year The Nukes tour the Country, inspiring thousands of school kids with songs designed for all levels, backgrounds and ages. Get in touch with The Nukes and arrange a visit your school, we’ll make it as easy as singing ‘My Dog Has Fleas’ (with flexibity to meet your needs).
“We absolutely enjoyed the show, the children were so engaged and loved the songs as you can see by the smiles on their faces. What an amazing band. Thank you so much for coming.”
“The Nukes visit to Ellerslie School was fantastic. They worked wonderfully with our ukulele group in preparation for the performance, which then was very entertaining for the whole school. Everyone participated and had a great time. I would highly recommend them as a performance group to appear at any school.

“The Nukes give a one-of a kind performance. Fantastic musicianship, fun songs and great audience participation. Children and staff alike loved every minute and the workshop for our budding ukulele stars was also a big hit! A fantastic opportunity for kids to enjoy and get involved with a show packed full of engaging, funny and entertaining tunes!”
