Sydney Pop Choir

"Hi Jonathon,

Could you please pass on to all your APC members the sincerest thanks of the Sydney Homotones, and my personal thanks, for helping make our birthday concert such a special event.

From the feedback I have had so far, your performance was truly dynamic and one of the highlights of the night... I can hardly wait to get the DVD so I can see it from the front!!!

We really enjoyed working with you again and look forward to the next time!!

Our thanks to you for all your hard work.

Kindest Regards,
Rae Hennessy,
Secretary, Sydney Homotones"

The Homotones are looking for our help. One of the other guest artists at the forthcoming show on February 21st is Darlene, a transexual vocalist, and she's in need of some backing singers.

She's looking for 4 singers - 2 male and 2 female. The songs she's singing are "Let's Get Loud" and "I Will Survive".

Hopefully we'll have more information soon, but have a think about it and if you're interested be prepared to put your hand up on Monday night at our first rehearsal back.
