Hi All,

I’ve been very excited lately to be hearing about all the great nights you’ve been having, I’m just so proud that the choir’s now really turned a corner and has become this great vibing and fun group! Thanks so much to all of you who regularly come along and join in, you’re the ones who have made it what it is.

For those of you who have been wondering, my new little family is going really well and our gorgeous daughter Lotta is getting bigger even as you look at her! I’ve included a picture below so you can get an update. It’s been a bit tricky for us to come along, but I certainly look forward to seeing you all again soon as I get a chance. Lotta’s certainly keen to use her voice!!

Come and sing with us!!! We’re a very relaxed and friendly choir who meet EVERY TUESDAY at 7pm during school terms on the corner of Victoria St and Melville Rd.

We normally rehearse for around an hour and a half, followed by a friendly cuppa and a biscuit if you can stay. Unlike many choirs, it’s extremely easy to join and come along as often or as little as you like, with no enrolment forms at all nor any upfront fees, just the $5 each week pay as you go!  You’ll find public transport is easy and there is parking available at the rear of the building, if you’re early.  Whether you’re completely new to choir singing, or if you’ve been singing for years, this choir is ideal for all skills levels and you’ll love our wonderful choir leader Jolene Moran who has a great style that puts everyone at ease to relax and have fun with singing in a group.  We do occasionally have the opportunity to perform the beautiful gospel songs that we rehearse, however these performances are entirely optional for those who would like to participate, and certainly not a requirement.

To join, simply just come along one Tuesday and check it out! No need to pre-book, we love seeing new faces! Or, if you’d like more information, please feel free to call Josh Morshead on 0401 818 654 .

Found a great a cappella version of Chain Gang:

Doh – Me – Soul – Me – Doh…

Mention that you’re here to put the soul back in Gospel and we’ll let you bring a friend for free!  Offer only valid for first class – Tuesday 1st February.

Stormy weather today pulled Carols in The Park indoors this year to St David’s Church on Melville Rd.  For our first performance we had prepared two songs;  I’ll Fly Away and Noel (Gospel style of course).  As a young choir there was much anticipation built towards this night and a real sense of coming together in the rehearsals leading up to it was apparent.  There is something to be said for committing to something and following through and I think all of our choir members felt that tonight.  The result is a feeling of reward, a sense of joy, and for me – brimming pride.

We must have looked classy in our green and black colour code because upon arrival we were invited to spend the whole evening on stage so that everybody could admire us.  We sang all the classic carols accompanied the Moreland Brass Band and when it became our turn to perform our rehearsed tunes we sang loud and strong – any bystander would have thought we’d been doing it for years.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU again to every person that participated in Brunswick Community Gospel Choir this year.  It has been a massive learning curve for me as a choir leader and without you all I would not be experiencing this great sense of satisfaction tonight.  Thanks to Josh and Annika for all your encouragement and support and CONGRATULATIONS to the incredible singers who performed this evening.  You are truely, totally ace.

Choir sessions resume Tuesdays in Feb 2011 with a new angle on our exploration of Gospel music and it’s impressions on Soul.
