But this time he outshone himself. He taped Australian Story from the ABC, bought almond croissants and prepared espresso coffees. <br /><br />Sometimes we find blogging gems through dumb luck :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-28423449075602430842020-06-01T12:41:15.768+10:002020-06-01T12:41:15.768+10:00What a great story.

I am biased of course since my family was Russian but had the Russians not responded so warmly in 2017, the choir's impact would have been limited to rural music festivals and pub nights.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-45649817741860530492020-05-30T23:28:24.394+10:002020-05-30T23:28:24.394+10:00H Hels - I hadn't picked this up anywhere ... ...H Hels - I hadn't picked this up anywhere ... so what a fun find - and amazing set of co-incidences set off by sheer bravado and a love of music and drink ... what great fun - loved - it - thanks ... take care - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-76150930441205550582020-05-30T23:02:47.843+10:002020-05-30T23:02:47.843+10:00Joseph

What was surprising to me was that the Australian choir played on the Russian News broadcasts and not, for example, on Russia Has Talent. Beatles, eat your hearts out!

And I am personally delighted :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-7529167565203477562020-05-30T22:08:16.590+10:002020-05-30T22:08:16.590+10:00When the choir appeared on Russian National Televi...When the choir appeared on Russian National Television each night, they had an audience of 250 million people.

One that builds relationships instead of tearing them down.

In June 2017 Byron News wrote about Andrew Swain: "I was contacted by the Russian Cultural Club to do a fund raiser for them, so they did a little article in their newsletter which was lifted by a newspaper in Belarus. That article was picked up by Russian media and the first thing we knew was last week when our Facebook page started getting thousands of likes and comments from Russia. "By Saturday we were doing interviews with TV1 and other Russian television news shows. At rehearsal last Tuesday we did three Skype interviews with Russian TV. Apparently they have gone nuts for Dustyesky over there."<br /><br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-26542937293068909472020-05-30T15:28:52.345+10:002020-05-30T15:28:52.345+10:00Thanks for the youtube music, the first time I had...Thanks for the youtube music, the first time I had heard of Dustyesky. <br /><br />But my Russian neighbours here already heard the choir directly from Russian Today TV.
