Broken Hill
September 12, 2015
An enthusiastic group of singers will be travelling to Broken Hill on the weekend of 5-6 September 2015, to sing at the anniversary of the pegging out of the first mineral lease by Charles Rasp, on 5 September 1883. The choir was invited to perform at a concert on the Saturday evening with the Broken Hill Community Choir, which also sings about social justice and workers’ rights. Then on Sunday the choir will sing at a concert at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery. Quite an impressive line-up! They have been rehearsing with the MD, Zlatko Basic, and have a great repertoire of mining and Union songs, both old favourites and new songs. And they will be singing several songs with the other choir, including Internationale, Red Flag, and Solidarity.
Would IUS be interested in sharing a Loaded Dog gig with STUC on Sat night 22 Oct 2016?
I’ve emailed Mairi but happy to get a first impression from anyone.
The Dog runs from 8pm till 10pm on a Sat night in Annandale which would be a marathon for just STUC and Tom Bridges between them.
We could offer billets, a share of the takings, and an afternoon practice of a couple of common songs for the concert finale.
