As the festive season draws closer, spend a fabulous afternoon of humour, originality, great musicianship and singing in A Xmas Cracker Concert at the Meteor Theatre.

The show features two of New Zealand’s top ukulele acts - The Nukes and Sylvia’s Toaster.

The Nukes feature the original line-up of Ben ‘Country Boy’ Collier, Dave ‘Snapper’ Thiele and Dave ‘Fingers of Fire’ Parker together again.

With Parker prodigy, JayP, they are set to dazzle Hamilton in this afternoon Christmas show.

The Nukes have been faithfully broadcasting harmony and happiness to the good people of Australasia for over 15 years.

Innovative, inspiring and entertaining, The Nukes have knocked the socks off audiences from Canterbury to Canberra (and most places in between) with their original music and scintillating live shows delivered with a healthy sense of humour. There is something for everyone in The Nukes experience.

Waikato band Sylvia's Toaster.

Sylvia’s Toaster is a Waikato-based 10-piece post-modern ukulele noir band that is charming, colourful and quirky.

The band features an eclectic array of instruments and fantastic vocals. They play lesser-known folk and dark pop tunes from the ‘60s to the present, all with a hint of tasteful chaos.
