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\u2019 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.
