The Melbournaires sent a small chorus to the 2016 BHA Newcastle Convention. Our performance was based around a theme of Getting Hitched - choreo thanks to our own Clive Metz. The first song "All The Way" represented love, longing and looking forward to the wedding. The second "After You've Gone" displayed dishevelment after being dumped. Total performance was well received by the audience.
