Photgraphic Memories

Illawarra Folk Festival 2024

Illawarra Union Singers combined with Sydney Trade Union Choir and Newcastle People’s Chorus for this years Union Choirs concert, Maurie Mulheron also assisted IUS in the song You Don’t Speak For Me originally done by Judy Small.

Prior to the Union Concert Maurie Mulheron entertained the crowd with a group (Americana Showcase) and played songs of Peace.

November 2023 saw some Newcastle People’s Chorus members travel to Illawarra to meet with Illawarra Union Singers for a day of singing and an evening of dining and singing.

August 6th 2023 and a gathering was again held in Wollongong to remember the dreadful bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world saw the death and destruction caused by Nuclear weapons for the first time, some argue they were needed to end the war while some argue the war was over. The misery and profit caused by all wars needs to be properly examined, would we have so many wars if it was not profitable ?

Thanks to David W for some of these images.

May Day 2023 held on Wentworth Street Port Kembla to protest against a Nuclear Submarine base.
