Nick Oliveri at Deaf Institute

Nick Oliveri, formerly of Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss, is performing at the Deaf Institute next week – which may well prompt some ‘Songs for the Deaf Institute’ jokes. The often-nude hellraiser seems to be showing signs of mellowing a little in recent years, as this solo acoustic performance testifies to. We’ve teamed up with the Deaf Institute to offer one lucky reader a pair of tickets to the show, plus a meal for two beforehand. To stand a chance of winning, send an email to competitions at manchesterwire dot co dot uk, with ‘Nick Oliveri competition’ as the subject, and be sure to include your name, age, Twitter handle, phone number, and the answer to the question below. The competition closes on Sunday 15 June, and the winner will be announced on Monday.
