First concert for new choir

The newly-formed Ettalong Choir, The Tangeloes, hosted its first acapella concert at the Empire Bay Progress Hall on Sunday, June 26, with all proceeds going to Mary Mac's Place.

Sydney choir Isingonthecake also performed, along with local quartet The Bedroom Band and female trio She's With Me.

The choirs sang without musical accompaniment in a four-part harmony.

The concert featured a varied repertoire, including African gospel and pop songs from the '60s to the present.

Local singer Kerryn Cooper, who has been performing with Isingonthecake since 1997, headed up The Tangeloes.

While The Tangeloes made their debut performance after a mere nine rehearsals, Isingonthecake is a seasoned choir led by Sydney community choir director Mr Stuart Davis.
