Welcome to the MUDsingers
Based in the Milton-Ulladulla District of beautiful South Coast NSW, we come together for a cappella singing in the African American gospel and African spiritual traditions. We like to Let it Go, Let it Out, Let it all unravel...
We are a secular choir whose shared religion is Singing, with a mission to connect with each other and with the wider community through song.
Just as our repertoire of spirituals is sung best with a Give it Up attitude, we likewise give up all our funds raised through our performances and CD sales to local and national community organisations who do good deeds.
In our fifth year, we now number about 80 singers and together we make a big, passionate sound. We believe that there's a place for everyone in our choir. There are no auditions, but that doesn't mean we're slack with our singing! We do lots of workshops, training and performances and we love our road trips. We've hit the road to the National Folk Festival (Canberra), the Festival of Voices (Hobart) and the Moruya Jazz Festival and even the South Coast's answer to the Royal Albert Hall, Tomerong Community Hall.
COMING UP
We're working hard on getting ready to record our next CD and also on a July 2012 trip to New Zealand. We'll be performing with Auckland-based Heaven Bent choir and gigging at Leigh Sawmill Cafe and Artworx Theatre, among other places. We hope to bring some Polynesian harmonies back to Milton! Closer to home, we'll be fundraising for local marine rescue services in June (16th) at St George's Basin Community Centre plus we're gearing up for a return to Tomerong Hall sometime soon. Our latest charity recipients have been the Milton Ulladulla Cancer Outpatients Appeal and Budawang Special School.

Singing has been a passion of mine all my life. Thank you to Tina and Hamish for giving me the opportunity to express myself.
