00:00Good morning, my name is Phil Hewitt, Group Arts Editor at Sussex Newspapers, lovely to
00:06speak again to Hannah Collison and you are taking part in SheChoir Hastings who are offering their
00:13first gig of their very own coming up in Hastings on October the 10th. What's SheChoir Hastings all
00:19about? So SheChoir Hastings is an unauditioned collaboratively run community choir for women,
00:27non-binary and genderqueer folk. We practice every week in Hastings and this is the first
00:36gig that we've organised ourselves and you can expect original arrangements of pop, folk, indie,
00:42rock, dance music from the last 30 years. So these songs have been arranged by choir members
00:51and it's an evening of performance which includes the full choir performing together and also it's
01:00a showcase of the wide-ranging talents of individual choir members as well, so there'll be
01:05some other performances interspersed. It sounds great and you've got a fantastic title for the
01:10gig haven't you? Thunder, Lightning and Dirt. What's the dirt? So Thunder, Lightning and Dirt
01:19is a lyric that comes from one of the songs that's in our repertoire, so it's a song called
01:24Resilient by Rising Appalachia. So that kind of, that line kind of stood out to us as a great,
01:34a great title for a gig. It's a fantastic song. And it sort of reflects the energy, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41And the first of your own concerts, presumably there are going to be more?
01:50Yes, there will definitely be more. We've got plenty more to share,
01:54but don't miss out on this one. Tickets are going fast. So it's at the White Rock Theatre
01:59in Hastings and tickets, a Ā£10 standard ticket and then there's a Ā£4 ticket for
02:08under 18s and unwaged people. We've also got a pay it forward ticket option of Ā£15 if anyone's
02:14able to do that. And I'll just mention that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
02:22Fantastic. I hope it goes brilliantly. Lovely to speak to you. Thank you.
02:27Thank you very much.
