We are a community choir, formed in 2007, who perform in and around the Byron Shire. Our motto is: “just have fun!!”
The Ruby Tuesdays
The Ruby Tuesdays
sing mainly, but not exclusively, world music gems, and popular songs.
You don’t need experience or a beautiful voice to join. Just a desire to sing!!
“ I’ll be starting with easier pieces and seeing where the group is at. I’ll also be using warm ups that improve the voice and train the ear to hear harmony and rhythm better. It takes a while for a choir to build its sound...“I’d love lots of men to come along, but it is often hard to get them to join choirs... it’s definitely not too wussy!!”
“I’ve been influenced by: Zap Mama, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Arramaeida, Akasa, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Golden Gate Quartet, Miriam Makeba, Bobby McFerrin...”

Parissa’s Experience
Parissa was an early member of ‘The Voices from the Vacant Lot’ and the Sydney ‘Solidarity Choir’. In 1990 she sang for Nelson Mandela as part of ANC combined choir.
In 2012 she led the Fairbridge Festival Finale Choir ,WA, to celebrate it’s 20th anniversary.
In 2009, Parissa led the National Folk Festival Choir, singing songs from Latin America.
In 2000 she conducted the 700 voice Woodford Folk Festival Millenium Fire Event Choir, which was beamed via satellite around the world to 1.6 billion people.
“This one performance was the highlight of my life...700 voices singing my song, with me conducting and Neil Cameron’s fireworks going off behind me, the ABC cameras recording. When I walked around the festival afterwards people would break into the song and I would burst into tears. “
In Melbourne, Parissa is hired annually, as a consultant by 3 community choirs, including ‘Thursday’s Children’.
