The Tasmanian Grassroots Union Choir

 

The Tasmanian Grassroots Union Choir is a non audition group of music lovers dedicated to ensuring that workers songs, old and new, are being sung and heard in Tasmania .  The group meets every Monday at 5.15 at Unions Tasmania 379 Elizabeth Street North Hobart to learn songs under the expert guidance of Annie Parsell.

The group also boast the support, guidance and musical talents of Peter Hicks .

Choir Manager is "agent to the stars" Giulia Corradetti and if you would like to book the choir or know more about it please email: giuliacorradetti@hotmail.com

Oh No John:

"John who" is the cry as the 11 wasted years of government  become just memories.  This song penned by Peter Hicks and Geoff Francis asks the questions of those on the receiving end of Howard policies who will remember him.  Originally recorded by the in Graasroots in 2003 and included on the CD No Blood for Oil – Australian Voices for Peace.

If it weren't for the Union:

Another Peter Hicks and Geoff Francis calling on all workers to support their union as the defender of all rights but only as strong as the will to fight.  Recorded in 2006 and released on the CD 888 Australian Union Choirs.

Call Centre Blues:

Penned by choir member Maureen Lum and inspired by the series of employer outrages perpetrated on call centre workers including banning of pictures of family on desk tops and the sacking of Sally who went to the toilet once too often in late pregnancy.  Recorded in 2006 and released on the CD 888 Australian Union Choirs.
