Cest La Vie - Catherine Watts, Heidi Davies, Marie Chaveau and Kellie Macpherson - performed in Fremantle at the Sweet Adelines Australia National Championships.

Some of Busselton’s finest voices were be tuning up and strutting their stuff over the weekend, when the Voices of the Vasse took to the stage as part of the Sweet Adelines Australia National Championships.

Held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle, the convention saw choruses and quartets from all over Australia gathering to entertain audiences across the week.

New Tricks – Salinda Hayes, Josie Vigors, Brenda Smalley and Maureen McManus – also performed over the weekend.

Voices of the Vasse Assistant Director Kellie Macpherson last week said the women were excited to perform.

“The beautiful four part harmony chords of the talented ladies will ring out over the harbour and to the 600 plus chorus members from all over Australia.”

She said the weekend was one of music and friendship, and that the local singers were proud to be involved.

The Voices of The Vasse Chorus, directed by Stephanie Bruce, prepares to take to the stage for the national convention.

“And for the first time at a national competition, we will be presenting two local competing quartets, ‘New Tricks’ and ‘C’est La Vie’.”
