Sadly Tony & Marianne Backhouse are leaving paradise & returning to Australia. Choirs-Nets of Mercy, Vox Pop, Heaven Bent & Next Offramp sing their farewell!
Come and listen to foot-stomping rhythms, featuring African and African-American gospel music as well as contemporary arrangements including waiata, Pacifika, pop music, secular and many more.
Four choirs:
NETS OF MERCY is a dynamic small gospel choir directed by Tony and Rohan MacMahon. With a terrific repertoire and Tony singing solo in a few of the songs it's great stuff!
VOX POP is David Tillinghast's 40-voice popular music choir. No gospel here - just pop songs that are fabulously arranged and sung.
HEAVEN BENT is a large gospel choir that has been strongly influenced by Tony. It continues to sound fantastic under Phil May's direction.
NEXT OFFRAMP is a 12-voice vocal group. They sing an eclectic mix of popular songs, all with oodles of energy and heart.
Location/venue:
All Saints Anglican Church 284 Ponsonby Road (Three Lamps end) Ponsonby - 5pm. Proceeds to City Mission.
