Pomahaka Tyne:

Auckland Folk duo

Pomahaka Tyne is a folk duo from Auckland.  

Helen Douglas and Janet Thomson first collaborated on a Robbie Burns song in the winter of 2022, and have since continued to enjoy playing music together. 

Helen plays whistles and Northumbrian smallpipes (perhaps the oldest continually used bagpipes in western Europe), and Janet plays guitars and sings. 

They play Northumbrian, Scottish and Irish tunes as well as traditional and more recent songs from all around.  

The duo enjoy every opportunity to engage with a music-loving audience, and have been guests at folk clubs in Auckland (Devonport, Bare Bones, East Coast Bays) and represented the Titirangi Folk Music Club at the 2024 Auckland Folk Festival.  More recently they performed at the Hamilton Acoustic Music Club’s annual festival, Hamsterfest.   

The duo, who drew the inspiration for their name from the local rivers of their homelands, will be playing in a double-bill with the Nina Lane and Bryan Owens Duo at The Arts Junction on October 10.
