Chris Skinner sings with Auckland Boys Choir

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Marist Priest and singer/songwriter Chris Skinner performed a joint concert with the Auckland Boys Choir at the Cathedral of St Patricks and St Josephs in Auckland on Saturday. A highlight of the evening was the singing of the ‘Sons of Gallipoli’. Fr Chris was joined by the choir and Thomas Scott, a choir member, on trumpet playing the last post. The acoustics and lighting were particularly memorable in such a beautiful setting and the audience appreciated their participation. Proceeds from the evening went to support Christchurch Boys Choir given the difficulties they have experienced since the earthquakes and a DVD of the evening will soon be made available.
