Hawke's Bay Soul Choir's choirmaster Stephan Zebe is looking forward to showcasing the hard work his choir has put in over the past year.
The choir combines talent from all over the Bay in a rousing and inspiring programme
of soul, disco, gospel and Motown music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Their largest public show so far, the concert – will be held at arts venue Spaceship on Karamu Rd on Saturday, August 28 at 7.30pm with DJ support from Chopper Reedz (Fat Freddy's Drop).
"Our singers come from Whirinaki in the north to Central Hawke's Bay in the south," Zebe
said.
"We gather together each Monday evening in Hastings to spend time rehearsing our favourite music from the likes of Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles and Earth Wind & Fire. We also span a range of ages and backgrounds – we have students, and retirees. Sometimes we sing in English, and other times in te reo Māori.
