Paul Brown @ Ōmiha Folk Club

Paul Brown has been agitating the Auckland folk scene for the past 13 years since his arrival in Aotearoa. Hailing from Dundee in Scotland, Paul has a vast store of Scottish urban working-class songs and believes in using the power of song to change the system and celebrate the working class. If the world had it’s priorities in order this man would be world famous, but until that happens, you get to hear him at our wonderful wee Ōmiha Memorial Hall! Support will come from the infamous (in the NZ folk scene) Noel Armstrong. Paul and Noel have sung together at parties, funerals, sessions, and other imbibulous gatherings. On this occasion Noel is delighted to support his collaborator and near neighbour on a return trip to the island. With a shared passion for traditional music, in particular acapella singing, Paul and Noel are foundation members of the Tradition Bearers monthly singing session in Auckland. Noel, as part of the Kiwi Scots diaspora, has a store of humorous Scots songs leavened by Kiwi and English trad renditions.
