The Northside Soul Sisters are bringing big vocals and a performance full of heart to Morayfield this October, with a powerhouse showcase all for a good cause. 

The much-loved community choir will take to the stage on Saturday, 11 October, for a Night at the Movies, a cinematic-themed showcase with proceeds supporting the Centre Against Domestic Abuse, a local organisation providing crisis support, counselling and advocacy for those affected by domestic violence. 

President Emma Gough said the choir began in 2020 as a casual Facebook post and had since grown into a vibrant not-for-profit organisation.  

“What started as an idea, within a Facebook group for North Lakes women back in 2020, has blossomed into a small but mighty band of dedicated women, who rolled up their sleeves, formed a committee, and became a thriving not-for-profit association,” Emma said.  

“What makes us special goes beyond the notes we sing. We’ve built a safe, encouraging space where members can grow, make genuine friendships, and feel supported.” 

In addition to the joy of performance, the choir is proud of its ongoing commitment to giving back. At each showcase, the group collects donations and donates 50% of ticket sales to a local charity. 

“Our biggest event is our annual showcase, and we’re passionate about using this public platform to raise funds for local charities,” Emma said. “At our showcase, we collect donations and contribute 50% of our ticket sales to a chosen cause. 

“In previous years, we’ve been proud to support organisations like Be Uplifted, a wonderful breast cancer charity, and the Caboolture Community Action group.”

Joining the Choir and Event Details

The October showcase also marks the perfect time to join the sisterhood.  

“We love welcoming new faces into the sisterhood!” Emma said. “We are a non-audition choir. The best way to see what we’re all about is to attend one of our open nights, which we host two or three times a year.  

“Our next open night is in October, right after our showcase. This is an ideal time to join us, as we’ll be gearing up for the Christmas carols season!” 

Tickets start at $15. For more information, including how to book, find them on Facebook visit their website.
