THE GOSPEL CONTINUES TO ROCK

presents
AN EVENING AT ST PAULS CHURCH

Following a sellout winter season and live performances at The Silver Scrolls and the televised TUI Awards; the star studded Auckland a cappella choir JUBILATION is back to perform for one night only at St Pauls Church in Devonport on November 25th.
Along with choir founder and soloist Rick Bryant this eclectic 30 piece choir features some of NZ's most renowned professional musicians and actors whose only common religion is great music. The line-up includes Rick Bryant, Jackie Clark, Jean McAllister, Fiona Samuel, Jennifer Ward-Lealand & Amanda Billing; come together to celebrate the most soulful music, the world has ever created.

Following the success of their winter concert season that resulted in turning over 100 audience members away from their capacity gig in Devonport, JUBILATION; the choir world famous in Aotearoa for powerful gospel beats and soulful rhythms, returns to the North Shore for their last concert of 2006.

Formed over five years ago, JUBILATION has steadily increased its membership to a pool of 30 outstanding vocalists with a repertoire that ranges from traditional Afro-American gospel to Ben Harper, Al Green and Cissy Houston, Curtis Mayfield, Van Morrison and Tom Waits- as well as having the luxury of an in-house song-writing and arranging team. Originally reliant on a city underground following, in the last 18 months the choir has caught the attention of the NZ public with high profile performances at WOMAD, The Tauranga and Taupo Arts Festival and on the big screen in feature film No. 2 as backing vocalists for Hollie Smith's "Bathe In The River".

Traditionally performing in the summer months at Alleluya Cafe, K'Rd, the choir has chosen to present a greater programme of annual performances to cater to a growing Auckland audience both in the inner city and the North Shore. The choir is currently in production of their first CD, which is planned for release early 2007.

JUBILATION continue to increase their repertoire and performance schedule to deliver NZ audiences the phenomenal live experience of a big choir gospel sound guaranteed to heat the soul and shake warm the heart just in time for Christmas.
