News - Harmony Barbershop Chorus sings for Aussie audience
Tuesday 9 November 2004

Members of the Whangarei Harmony Barbershop Chorus are having a membership drive.
The group held a fun night last night, singing four-part harmony with musical director Christien Obherholster, but anyone interested in jointing is always welcome.
Here a contingent from the Whangarei group sings in a 80-strong New Zealand Sweet Adelines group at a Barbershop Convention in Perth, Western Australia.
Under the direction of Barbara Letcher He Tangata, the Kiwi chorus wowed the delegates with a package of Kiwi songs including New Zealand Hideaway, Pokarekare Ana, Poi E and Slice of Heaven/Six Months in a Leaky Boat medley, specially arranged for He Tangata by Brian Beck.
Poi E was accompanied by flying poi performed by members of the Whangarei group led by Te Aurere Beazley.
For more information about the Whangarei Harmony Barbershop Chorus please phone Jan on 437 1087 or Ann 437 2300.
