SUMMARY:Dalmation Society Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Once a year\, we throw open our doors and invite the whole community in. Downstairs\, our museum and archive trace the story of Dalmatian settlement in New Zealand — well worth a browse whether you’re a member\, a descendant\, or simply curious. Upstairs\, there’ll be a kolo workshop at 1pm — a chance for everyone\, young and old\, to try their hand at traditional Croatian dancing — followed by a folklore concert at 2pm. \nThe Society will be serving traditional Dalmatian food for both lunch and dinner\, and their stall will have Croatian delicacies for you to take home. \nEntry is by donation; food and stall items are sold separately. No bookings required — just come along and bring family and friends. \nQuestions? Contact events@dalmatian.org.nz or 027 428 1922.

SUMMARY:Rowena Wise @ Auckland Old Folks Association
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, Rowena Wise makes her long-awaited New Zealand debut\, bringing an intimate solo show across the motu for the first time. With just voice and guitar\, Rowena’s songs hit with a rare kind of clarity – tender\, point-blank\, and unafraid of the quietest truths. \nFrom Melbourne to Auckland\, Wellington to Oakura and beyond\, the tour celebrates a body of work that holds space rather than demands attention\, tracing heartbreak\, estrangement\, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood with candid poetic lyricism. \nSince debuting in 2018\, Rowena has amassed over 10 million streams\, earned airplay across triple j\, Double J and Unearthed\, and toured extensively across Australia\, the UK\, Europe\, the USA and Canada\, supporting artists including Folk Bitch Trio\, Holy Holy\, Ball Park Music\, Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey. Her 2024 debut album\, Senseless Acts of Beauty\, was praised by CLASH Magazine as “carefully etched indie folk” and shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.\nExpect favourites\, new material\, and the kind of stillness you can feel in your chest.

SUMMARY:Adam & Marika + Vai Mai Natana @ Whangateau Hall
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this one off double-act concert featuring Adam & Marika and Vai Mai Natana! \nVai Mai Natana’s soulful vocals mixed with highly-skilled groovy guitar riffs will have you swaying and dancing along\, followed by Adam & Marika’s high energy fiddle and guitar tunes\, this two act show will start your weekend off with a bang! \nAdam & Marika \nAdam Ogle is a well-known musician in the Australasian scene\, known for his work in the musical Once and the band Roughtown who have played at Welly Fest and other festivals across NZ and Australia. Played with the likes of Sharon Shannon and Manus McGuire. \nMarika Chia has been in the music scene in New Zealand for over a decade and has performed with musicians such as Ms Lauryn Hill\, Josh Groban\, Jordan Luck and other NZ greats. She’s been a staple at the Auckland Folk Festival for the past 4 years. \nHaving recently released their EP they have performed at the Wellington Folk Festival\, the Auckland Folk Festival and having been regularly performing around the north island. Together they merge their love of Folk\, Gypsy and Contemporary/Original works to create their own sound. Combining soulful ballads with electric fiddle tunes. \nVai Mai Natana \nMema is weird but means well. \nNathan is kinda quiet but smiles a lot. \nCurrently based in New Zealand\, Mema has been quickly taken under mentoring wings of Aotearoa’s most well known producers who continue to volunteer their time and expertise to record her astounding works. Meme’s EP being released later this year will feature a star studded list of these household known names. \nClassically trained guitarist Nathan Boston is one of our NZ’s hardest working musicians. One of the founding (and still current) members of well known kiwi band White Chapel Jak\, this man has an undying love for playing music live that has seen him perform over 150 gigs within one year. His creative blend of classical meets blues\, meets rock\, meets funk has taken him on a world wide journey of professional music in different projects and styles alongside a long list of international names and events. \nTogether Mema and Nathan deliver an exceptional music experience that you will feel at your very core as this is where they express from. They focus on acoustic arrangements of Mema’s original works with the odd quirky cover all delivered with the sincerest of love for sharing their craft. Musically\, it’s kinda like The Rescues formed a love triangle with Leonard Cohen and Andres Segovia. It is a most delicious blend of quirky beauty that will make you laugh and probably cry in the same night. Expect soaring vocals with carefully placed guitars supporting poetic lyrics in the sincerest of love for sharing music with you.
