These men are a group of local enthusiasts who enjoy singing together and have been performing for many years now. What began as a bit of fun at a party long ago has become a local legend.
The group has performed at many venues, ranging from charity events to private functions.  They have joined in at places like "East Gippsland On Show" and more recently providing performances at the Wyanga Winery.  This last venue is no coincidence as the Choir is very grateful for the use of the pleasant winery surroundings for  practice every Thursday night from about 7:00pm to 9:00pm. If you enjoy singing, then come along! Notable this year are the performances given to support other local non-profit groups.

Tonight I heard about the death of Leonard Cohen.  He was not my favourite performer as he was the idol of the well do of my university peers (c.1979) who enjoyed privileged upbringings and indulged themselves in their own sophomoric sentimentality.  However as a member of our choir we have come to appreciate at least one of his works, "Hallelujah", and in spite of all my attempts to simply list a song with YouTube or Facebook, I offer it you now as a raw un-pretentious, innocent offering, recorded 3 days before his death.

Hallelujah  I hope you enjoy it, as we did singing it, thanks Leonard!!!  Thanks Surf, your backing was brilliant!
