Concert on 28th March: Úna will appear at the Palmerston North Folk Club. This extraordinarily gifted musician should not be missed.
Úna Ní Fhlannagáin is a harper and singer based in Galway, Ireland. Rooted in the jigs and reels of North Clare and the sean-nós singing of Connemara, she is also influenced by American post-minimalists and free jazz. Accolades include the Riada Gold Medal for Harp (2017) and the All-Ireland trophy for Senior Harp Slow Airs (Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2018). Playing music since age 3, she has since performed all over Europe, and in North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Passionate about music education, she is the first, and so far only, Irish harpist to qualify as a Suzuki harp teacher. Artistic collaborations include Celtic music icon Alan Stivell, Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin, and free jazz legend, Anthony Braxton. A soulful performer, she strives to create emotional connection with her audience; to bring solace and joy. March 2025 will see Úna's unique blend of traditional tunes and original compositions performed on public stages in Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time. You don't want to miss this!

The Palmerston North Folk Music club meets every Friday night at 7.30pm, with a complimentary supper around 9pm. Guest artist concerts start at 8pm. On concert nights guest musicians, national or international, perform for us. These are top quality musicians and they always put on a great night!! We are very lucky to have them drop by... On non-concert nights there is a theme (see the "What's On" section of this site, or see the programme available in the pdf below), this is in a sing-around format, and everyone who comes along has the chance to perform (or request) a piece of music related to the theme, whether as a solo, as a small group, or with everyone. If you don't feel like performing yourself, then you are welcome to come along, sit back, and enjoy the music! Sometime after supper there's the opportunity for a general jam session.
