The Jubilation a capella gospel choir will bring its foot-stomping energy back to the Leigh Sawmill Café on April 8.
The 33-strong group played at the venue in February last year and Jubilation publicity group member Tania Anderson says they were keen to return.
“It’s a very relaxed venue and we like to perform there in summer, so people can finish their day with a show after going to the beach,” Tania says.
The group will bring a new line up of songs this year with two half-hour sets to be blasted out.
“Although we are a gospel choir, most of our members are not religious and we have a strong rock ‘n’ roll theme to our music.
“What people enjoy about our shows is leaving at the end feeling uplifted and energised.”
The choir will likely include around 24 singers and will do a mix of whole group, small group and solo performances.
“We need at least that number of people to do a show to create the right sound, every member lives a busy life though, so that is why we do a limited number of shows each year.”
The show starts at 5pm and tickets are only available at the door – waged $20, unwaged $15 and children under 16 free.
