June is a big month for the stars, and this is your chance to star! 

June 21 is the Midwinter Solstice (and the shortest day) and towards the end of June, the cluster of stars we know here as Matariki (the Pleiades) will rise in the sky, giving rise to the beginning of the Māori New Year. We’d like to invite you to celebrate whatever part of that may be important to you in a singaround with a hygge-style (cosy) ambience at the Tawa Community Centre.

Bring your songs, poems or tunes with a wintry, starry and/or Matariki theme and let’s warm up the winter’s night together. To keep it cosy there won’t be a sound system, and to keep it safe, there won’t actually be an open fire!

If you’d like to participate by performing a number or two, please contact Ruth on 0274 515 486 to register.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there. We may even have some seasonal refreshments to share!

Note we have changed both the venue and the usual main event date so as not to clash with other events that may be scheduled at this time. Our usual singaround at Johnsonville on the third Monday is cancelled for this month.
