# Event Details

- **Event Name**: **SOLD OUT** The Otherworld: Traditional tunes & stories for Matariki ✨
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event 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.

We are excited to welcome Irish traditional tunes group The Otherworld led by seanchaí (storyteller) and musician Mark Russell. The group will share a set of traditional Irish folk tunes performed on tin whistle, uillleann pipes, mandolin, guitar and concertina that will journey from spirited jigs and reels to meditative airs, interspersed with retellings of traditional tales, rememberings and lore. 

Around the world, midwinter marks a time of reflection, remembering and reconnecting to  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.**

This intimate event will sell out. Please purchase tickets in advance via https://www.undertheradar.co.nz/gig/103033/The-Otherworld-Traditional-tunes--stories-for-Matariki.utr
