Canberra Union Voices.
Songs of struggle & solidarity.
We're a mixed choir, (SATB), and you don't have to
audition to join. Anyone is welcome.
We're a fun group, heavily Trade Union oriented
(the name might be a bit of a giveaway) and we tend to sing a mixture of
"Union" songs, assorted traditional folk music, some African stuff for
variety... in fact, anything that sounds good.
It's made up of a group of bright, friendly
people, and we could always use new voices. (Especially Tenors!) (And Sopranos!)
And if you aren't particularly political....
well, neither am I.
We rehearse every Thursday evening 7:30
- 9:30:
Trades & Labour Council Offices
17 Woolley St Dickson
