Since it's NZ Music Month: Sammy Leary breathes life into the forgotten corners of our country's musical history. A collector and archivist as well as a performer, he unearths the oft-neglected songs that tell the stories of our colonial past. His performances remind us who we once were: settlers, sailors, outsiders and dreamers - so we can better understand who we are today. As a passionate custodian of New Zealand's folk tradition, Sammy proves that our own songs can be as rich, wild and compelling as any in the world. Anyone who wants to support Sammy, who is on a cancer journey and deserves all the support he can get, by purchasing his award-winning album Old Bush Road can do so here: https://sammyleary.bandcamp.com/

Mark Russell is awesome and a super special seanchaí and musician whose music will make you cry (in a good way). Highly recommend getting along to hear him play some traditional tin whistle tunes and tell some stories reflecting on our changing planet at the wonderful Waiheke Musical Museum 10.30am Thursday 26 March ☘️ 🌊
