Based in Queenscliffe at the Neighbourhood House, Tides of Welcome was originally led by Sarah Carroll in 2003.
Since then the "Tiders" have had enormous success and are currently under the direction of Wayne Jury. They perform at various events ranging from community events, performances at the Uniting Church and the Queenscliff Music Festival through to wedding proposals and festivals such as the "Mouth to Mountain" and “Tranquillity”.
The choir comprises locals from Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, who have enjoyed the experience of singing together and creating soulful harmonies under the direction of their dedicated leaders.

"The Tides of Welcome is a welcoming, inclusive, community based choir in Queenscliff who enjoy the experience of singing together."
"There is something powerful about the experience of singing together where these feelings of warmth, joy and harmony are shared with their audience."

“Wayne Jury is one of the best blues singers in this country.”
Michael Smith, Drum Media Sydney. Wayne Jury is more than just the blues. Recognised as a multitalented tunesmith (he’s been signed to the legendary J Albert and Son Publishing, home of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Easybeats et al since 1994), his versatility sees him at ease with an ensemble or solo, delving deep into funk, soul, jazz and rock to combine all these genres with his distinctive vocals and performance. This adaptability hasn’t gone unrecognised by his peers – fronting rock bands across Australia since he was 16, he’s been called on by some of Australia’s most iconic bands to front their gigs when they’ve been missing a lead singer. In demand to perform several nights a week, his interest is also in putting this extensive experience back into the music community by supporting young artists who face the same challenges he confronted when starting out, reflected by his facilitation of acclaimed mentoring programs Blues Boot Camp, Youth In Blues, Emerging Artist Grants, as well as teaching and advising festivals and councils as an advocate for the advancement of local and live music. |
