Albert Hall, Adelaide
The Albert Hall in Adelaide was a public entertainment venue in Pirie Street, built for the Adelaide German Club in 1880 and sold to the Salvation Army in 1899. The building, which cost £2,000 was paid for by fund-raising activities, mostly by the members' wives, and by every member contributing £1, which was to be repaid, interest free, out of profits. But the scheme backfired; membership dropped dramatically and the focus of the remaining members was repaying the debt, to the detriment of socializing. Fundraising began almost immediately, with a concert by the Adelaide Liedertafel in October 1880. It was not until Oskar Ziegler (c. 1832 – 20 August 1916) became president that the Club's fortunes began to improve. Among users of the hall was the Garrick Club, which staged several productions in 1889 and 1890, including an operetta ''Dimple's Lovers'' written by Guy Boothby and Cecil Sharp Cecil James Sharp (22 November 1859 – 23 June 1924) was an English-born collecto ...

Singers From South Australia
Singing is the act of creating musical sounds with the voice. A person who sings is called a singer, artist or vocalist (in jazz and/or popular music). Singers perform music (arias, recitatives, songs, etc.) that can be sung with or without accompaniment by musical instruments. Singing is often done in an ensemble of musicians, such as a choir. Singers may perform as soloists or accompanied by anything from a single instrument (as in art song or some jazz styles) up to a symphony orchestra or big band. Different singing styles include art music such as opera and Chinese opera, Indian music, Japanese music, and religious music styles such as gospel, traditional music styles, world music, jazz, blues, ghazal, and popular music styles such as pop, rock, and electronic dance music. Singing can be formal or informal, arranged, or improvised.
