Two Kiwi groups come together for the first time

-

Two classic Kiwi groups come together in Hamilton tonight and in Putaruru in two weeks.

Ukulele trio The Nukes have a very original approach, amazing audiences with the rich sounds they are able to achieve with the humble little ukulele.

With over 10 years together and three albums worth of quality song-writing, they’ve developed a show which is always entertaini­ng and surprising, sometimes involving students from local schools, or even members of an unsuspecti­ng audience.

The Harmonic Resonators have achieved local internet stardom through their old-school, jamsession style videos of classic NZ singalong tunes, waiata Ma¯ ori, and heartfelt originals.

With lush harmonies, soaring yodels, and beaming personalit­ies, they put on a show enjoyed by young and old. Laugh, sing, dance, clap, and resonate with your new favourite band.

Both groups are in demand, performing at festivals around the country.

Tapping into the heartland of Kiwi culture a concert combining these two groups promises to have audiences singing along, laughing out loud and tapping their toes. This will be great family entertainm­ent.

All shows have ticket concession­s for school children, students , seniors and beneficiar­ies as well as a discounted group / family pass for five people.

As well as a show in Hamilton on Friday February 14, they will play together in Putaruru on Saturday February 29.
