Battle of the Choirs

There was an A Cappella battle on the North Shore tonight. Melbourne's Harambee, in black and pink, verses Sydney's Soulfood, in black and orange. Someone is going to have to sort an away-strip out for the return leg; it was too confusing.

Harambee have been commissioned to sing at the 75th anniversary of an umbrella manufacturers (!) and Soulfood still have Abba stuck in their repertoire from when they launched the Mamma Mia DVD. A large proportion of Harambee's repertoire was about water, rain, dampness and umbrellas. They also sang a song about Spiderman and a cover of Coldplay's Viva la Vida. Good gig!

During the interval I took a lot of flack from 'friends' in the audience about my attempt at bird-identification. (See below)
