Huge thanks to all who came out for the fundraising concert & to all of you who made such generous donations (of time, resources, & money) even if you couldn't be there. Especially massive thanks to our wonderful & endlessly generous friends Jeff and Lisa, who simply embody kindness & coolness. Sammy and Jeff are two remarkable musicians who live folk music and community, once again bringing all of us together in the Omiha Hall, which has a magic all of it's own. We were thrilled to raise the hearty sum of $2872 from ticket sales, not including the donations that were made directly to the givealittle. We have donated all proceeds to the givealittle, with the exception of a donation of $501 from a generous giver who asked for their donation to go directly to Sammy. This will go towards the costs of his prescription medication & travel. Huge thanks again from the bottom of our hearts! We hope you enjoyed the show. Photos by the awesome Tim D.

Our Sammy has a hard road ahead of him. Anything you are able to give to support his treatment would mean a lot ❤️

Please help us fund our brother Sam’s cancer treatment

Coming up soon at Waiheke Musical Museum, we are very excited to bring to Waiheke from Australia, NZ/AU country/folk duo We Mavericks!

5pm Sunday 12 May 2024
Tickets: Adult $35 | Student $15 available from https://musicalmuseum.org/event/we-mavericks-folk-duo/

Lindsay Martin’s masterful strings and vocal meets songstress Victoria Vigenser’s magnificent voice and driving rhythms in a connection that is hard to describe. Originally from the NSW Riverina and NZ respectively, they're travelling troubadours with uniquely gritty, evocative songs and echoes of their love for Americana and Celtic traditional music amongst the harmonies.

Bringing challenging originals, entertaining stories and incredible energy, this is music that packs emotional punches, with songs that heal the scars.

This year sees the Tui and AFMA-nominated couple touring Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and much of Europe. Tickets will go quickly for this super special show - book yours now!

Susi, we were honoured to have you share your poems of protest and resistance so beautifully and powerfully at our last folk club meeting. You were more brave and selfless than most of us could ever imagine, and a cheerful, funny, wild-haired wahine and comrade. We were honoured to know you. Ngā mihi for sharing your light with us.

Saturday at 7pm - Sammy Leary! This will be a solo show of songs and stories of Aotearoa's colonial history - the sea shanties, old ballads and work chants sung by the sailors, sealers, wives and whalers, adventurers and bushmen, who sang out their joy, humour, or misery during their hard-slog work and after hours; about bully bosses and fair blokes, madams and murderers, hardships underground and weird happenings above; about social milestones, triumphs, shipwrecks and other disasters.
