TIDES OF WELCOME CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF COMMUNITY SINGING
Tides of Welcome choir celebrates 20 years!
Over one hundred people plus special guests and former Tiders attended our 20th anniversary performance at the Uniting Church in Queenscliff on September 10th 2023. We loved not only singing for the community, but especially catching up with as many former members over supper.
It was a fabulous afternoon of music, stories, laughter and food.
The concert started at 4pm, 2 sets featuring Sarah Carroll + Wayne Jury, with the Tides of Welcome.
A special thank you to the Borough of Queenscliffe for providing a community grant to assist us with this anniversary celebration.

QUEENSCLIFF MUSIC FESTIVAL 2022
After three long years, Queenscliff Music Festival was up and running for 2022. This was the first time Wayne Jury directed us at a QMF since he commenced with us as Choir Director early in 2020. It was simply amazing and quite emotional to be back on familiar grounds. The Uniting Church venue is such an amazing space to perform in and the audience really absorbed the vibe were were giving out and joined in along the way. We had quite a few new songs influenced by Wayne's extensive music background including one of his own which was pure joy in performing. Oh,....to be back!

A special thank you to Wayne Jury, our new Choir Director who stepped into his role literally two weeks prior to Covid, and Russell Kingsbury who spent enormous hour putting this little video together. Of course a special thanks to Joni Mitchell for such a timeless song!
This was so much fun and now beget to sing it live! |
