| Spirit Of The Streets Choir In Concert |
|

To celebrate International Mental Health week and
National Carers week, The Spirit of the Streets - a choir comprised of
people normally regarded as the forgotten section of our society - have
pride in presenting a concert in this major venue.
With the same idea as the Choir of Hard Knocks (as seen on ABC TV),
The Big Issue newspaper sellers of Perth have assembled this choir,
which is led by music director Bernard Carney.
The concert will be hosted by Sonia Vinci of Channel 9.
After the initial formation in late 2006, the Spirit of the Streets
choir found more members among other disadvantaged people, outside the
reach of the mainstream community - the homeless, those with a mental
illness, the disabled, those affected by drugs or alcohol - and now
have regular gigs within the community.
Tonight they are joined by the Perth Male Voice Choir (in its 82nd
year and dedicated to fundraising for the community) and Working Voices
Choir (directed by Bernard Carney). With around 100 voices in total to
present a fully-produced concert that will fill the heart, and
hopefully the coffers of The Big Issue organisation, to help keep the
choir viable.
With numbers like ‘With A Little Help from my Friends’, ‘Imagine’,
‘Help’, ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ and ‘Streets of London’, the
audience will not only sit back and appreciate, they’ll want to join in
the spirit and sing along.
