We love everything about this Strange Fruit Mention of the Day, which comes to us from Australia courtesy of a recycling, socially aware gospel chorus: “The Canberra community choir—named after two iconic songs ‘Strange Fruit’ and ‘Stormy Weather’—features a repertoire of folk, contemporary, African, Indigenous as well as gospel and spiritual music.

Rachel Gilks, Convener of Strange Weather, says that as well as bringing together people from all walks of life to sing together, ‘we’re very socially aware and want to do what we can for the planet and for Canberra.’
