Adam & Marika @ Ōmiha Folk Club

Adam Ogle first performed at the Ōmiha Folk Club with the wonderful Hannah Morrell and instantly won us over. Super funny and charismatic, he is also an extraordinarily talented and engaging guitarist. We have since spotted him playing everywhere from folk festivals to floating past on a truck in Auckland’s St Patrick’s Day parade (which turned out to be a very cute who’s who of the Auckland folk scene).

Adam has played alongside Irish music heavyweights Sharon Shannon and Manus McGuire, toured New Zealand and Australia with Rough Town, and stepped into Glen Hansard’s shoes as the lead in an Auckland production of Once: The Musical.

Marika Chia grew up in a large musical family, began playing violin at four and travelled internationally with her family band from a young age. Her playing has a lively, theatrical quality with a touch of old-world magic.

Together, Adam and Marika make playful, spirited music rooted in Irish and Scottish folk traditions, weaving in soulful ballads, gypsy jazz and flaming-hot fiddle tunes. Firm favourites at the Auckland and Wellington folk festivals, we’re delighted to bring them over the water to Ōmiha!
