The group of seven to 12 year olds performed twice on the weekend and managed to sell out both concerts.
Saturday night’s show at North Haven Bowling Club saw a capacity crowd of 340 people enjoy the vocal harmonies of the group of 18 choristers.
The following day a standing-room only audience of 400 people gathered at Laurieton United Services Club to witness the magic of the Uganda-based choir.
The African group were joined during both performances for one song by around 70 children from St Joseph’s Primary School Laurieton, who are hosting the choir.

The weekend’s impressive turn-outs were fitting reward for a remarkable ensemble.Mel Hunt from St Joseph’s said: “The audience have been awesome for all the shows,” Mrs Hunt said.
“They’ve been so welcoming of the children, and the community spirit has been wonderful.”
The choir will conduct a sold-out workshop at St Joseph’s tonight, before taking time to enjoy the natural spoils of the area.
“The kids are having a great time, and we’re going to do some sight-seeing around Port Macquarie on Tuesday,” Mrs Hunt said.
Mrs Hunt noted the efforts of the St Joseph’s community, particularly the seven families hosting the choir’s members.
“The St Joey’s kids have been raising money to buy each of of the children some school shoes,” Mrs Hunt said.
“The tour has been really successful, and they’re already talking about touring again in 2015
