The Rodney Times has a double pass to giveaway for ukulele trio The Nukes who are bringing their part vaudeville, part rat-pack, part musical car-crash show to the Warkworth RSA on April 8.
The West Auckland ukulele band formed 10 years ago and have built a reputation for "reckless and riveting live shows where a fine blend of folk, bluegrass, reggae and post-punk is caressed, coaxed and beaten out of three innocent wee ukuleles".
To enter the draw send an email to jay.boreham@stuff.co.nz by April 3, with "The Nukes" in the subject line and your contact details including phone number.
The double pass also comes with a signed CD of the Nukes third album Nukes III.
