Hey Soul Sister

Here we are performing in the Choir Stalls at St Michaels Chapel, West Leederville.
We premiered our new arrangement of "Hey Soul Sister" by Train as a special surprise for the Groom. Rex was on violin and doubled as our Ukulele player as used in the original, showing off his diverse talent by playing the chords.
