May 2008, Trundle
The small central west town of Trundle came alive with singing in May when their annual singing event brought hundreds of visitors to the town. A highlight of this year’s concert was the launch of a new CD Trip to Trundle, by popular bush band Franklin B Paverty. The CD was inspired by the band's annual trips to the town and their love of the community. Choirs came from all over the region with about 400 people at the concert and at least 150 of them singing. The Trundle Sing Australia choir is one of about 90 Australia‐wide and boasts 15 members. “Out of a population of about 600 (including Bogan Gate), having 15 members statistically makes us the biggest choir in Australia per capita!” said organiser Bob Schneider. The Sing Australia philosophy is that everyone can sing, it’s all about having a go and doing something as part of a community.
This project was supported with a grant from the Regional Arts NSW Country Arts Support Program (CASP).
