After intense but very satisfying  workshops run by The Newcastle People\u2019s Chorus and the Sydney Trade Union Choir, the intrepid singers repaired to the Lass O\u2019Gowrie Hotel, where they performed to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. They learnt new songs, revisited neglected ones and realised what a great repertoire there is of union songs.<br \/>\nThanks Dianne for article and photos<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
