| HONEYBEES CHOIR SYDNEY A well-known, Sydney based a cappella gospel choir, The Honeybees came together in 1996 under the direction of acclaimed singer-songwriter Tony Backhouse. Although not a religious choir, we find inspiration in the passionate, hopeful and joyous quality of the gospel genre. We rehearse weekly in East Sydney at St Paul’s Lutheran Church, just around the corner from St Mary’s Cathedral. Our members have varied backgrounds and come from all walks of life, but are united in their love of music from the African-American gospel tradition. An experienced and committed group, we perform regularly at a wide range of events from fundraisers, festivals and corportate gigs, to weddings and special services. We also stage two major concerts each year to raise funds for a variety of organisations in need of support. In 2011 we are supporting the Wayside Chapel in Kings Cross for a second year. The Honeybees are a dynamic, energetic and engaging group, and our live performances of soulful and foot-stomping traditional gospel and gospel-related numbers leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. The choir is led by Musical Director Stephen Clarke and AMD Jenny Jackson-Nylund.
