Mel and Paul Roberts are part of a collective of community choirs who're holding a fundraiser concert for the Auckland City Mission on Saturday. 250 singers from seven choirs are part of the Everybody Sings collective. Mel Roberts is the director - she started singing on advice from her doctor when she had post natal depression. For her husband Paul, choir singing was the last thing he ever thought he'd end up doing, but he says he's not looked back. Covid has been a challenge for community choirs this year, and the concert is much anticipated.
