SUMMARY:The Otherworld: Traditional tunes & stories for Matariki @ Ōmiha Folk Club
DESCRIPTION:The shortest day is almost upon us! Ōmiha Folk Club is waking up from its winter hibernation for a midwinter gathering of traditional tunes and storytelling in the spirit of Matariki. Matariki is the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster. Its reappearance in the midwinter dawn sky marks the beginning of the Māori New Year\, Te Mātahi o te Tau. It is a time of year dedicated to remembering the past\, celebrating the present and looking to the future. \nWe are excited to welcome to the folk club newly formed Irish traditional tunes group The Otherworld\, who are: seanchaí (storyteller) and tin whistle player Mark Russell; Seán Connolly on the uilleann pipes; Andy Lewis on mandolin; Phill Judd (not the one from Split Enz) on guitar and (sometimes) Sammy Leary on concertina. The group will share with us a set of traditional Irish folk tunes that will journey through spirited jigs\, lively reels and meditative airs\, interspersed with retellings of traditional tales\, rememberings and lore. \nAround the world\, midwinter marks a time of reflection\, remembering and reconnecting to one’s roots\, and we would love to invite you to share a song\, story or yarn from your own cultural heritage or your family’s journey. **Floor spots are limited as despite having some pretty mystical folks on the team\, sadly none of us are able to bend time.** \nDoors at 7pm. Floor spots first half. BYO songs\, stories & beer.

SUMMARY:The Whinray Family @ Titirangi Folk Music Club
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Mayes & Rosie Whinray met through a mutual love of unaccompanied folk singing. Kev’s background farming in Sussex shaped his repertoire & style\, while Rosie was brought up in the Auckland folk scene. \nBoth now live nearer the head of the fish\, in Shannon (Kev) & Wellington (Rosie). Strong solo singers in their own right\, they also sing together in harmony. Songs of land & sea\, love & war\, beer & wine\, politics\, comedy\, work\, magic\, & sheep: hearty history sung the traditional way. \nRosie’s Dad Paul Whinray was a folk singer back in the days of his youth\, harmonising with Raynor Asher\, & later a world-renowned maker of Baroque flutes & recorders out of his workshop in the Bethells bush. With luck Paul will get up & sing a few songs too!
