The Melbourne Staff Songsters at BCT
Ray Steadman-Allen Tribute Concert
are a group of people who love music and who
love to sing to the glory of God! The group is
coming to Brisbane and we invite you to come
along!
Enjoy a musical tribute to a leading
composer of brass band music for The
Salvation Army and whose works also
entered the mainstream repertoire.
Personnel are drawn from Salvation Army
centres around Melbourne, as well regional
Victoria. While their major role is performing as a
choir, the group have included a number of
individual quality soloists within the group.
Paul Hindmarsh (award winning music
produce and journalist) wrote of his work:
“His music is vibrant and often quixotic in
mood, manipulating the given material as
though it were his own, stretching the
conventions of tonal melody and harmony to
their limit through abrupt changes of mood,
texture and pace.”
They perform at major Salvation Army events,
as well as visiting many country, interstate and
international centres - having toured to all States
of Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom
and Canada.
As well as performing Salvation Army music, the
group’s repertoire includes sacred, classical and
contemporary music from a variety of sources.
This tribute will be presented by the
acclaimed Brisbane Excelsior Band and the
Brisbane City Temple Band of The Salvation
Army.
The Melbourne Staff Songsters’ presentation is
traditional, contemporary and
innovative,
reflecting the wide variety of music styles now
enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Back to BCT
Weekend:
Saturday, 1
and Sunday, 2 August
A weekend to look at the
journey of the Brisbane City
Temple so far, where it is
now as we journey together
and the journey ahead.
The special guests for the
weekend will be the
Territorial Leaders,
Commissioners James and
Jan Condon.
This will be a time of
celebration and we invite
you to journey with us!
The 7th October 1891, is generally acknowledged as the date when Commissioner Bramwell
Booth brought into being ‘The International Staff Band’. The name reflected the fact that the
band’s members all worked for The Salvation Army at one of its London headquarters and the
band its self was based at the church’s International Headquarters in London.
The International Staff Band, or ISB as it is now known still has around thirty percent of its
members working for the Salvation Army, with the remaining members employed in a variety of
occupations and professions. All are active members of their own particular local Salvation Army
corps (Church), with membership spread as far afield as Leeds, Norwich, Bristol, London [and
many centres in between]. Many of the band's members are also musical leaders in their local
corps (Church) and membership of the ISB is undertaken in addition to their local commitments.
The band [now and since its beginnings] exists to spread the message of Christ primarily through
music and aims for the highest standards of Salvation Army Christian music making. The band
visits Salvation Army church centres throughout the UK on a monthly basis, presenting concerts
[of varied Christian music] and leading worship and open-air services.
The ISB participates in most of the UK’s major Salvation Army events and in recent years has
shared the concert stage with bands such as Black Dyke Band, Cory Band, London Symphonic
Brass and the Don Lusher Big Band. On such occasions the band has been privileged to play in
some of the countries finest concert venues including; The Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall,
The Sage [Gateshead], Birmingham Symphony Hall and The Barbican . Other notable venues
have included Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace.
Since its earliest days the ISB has toured overseas, visiting countries in which the Salvation
Army is based from USA and Canada to Australia, New Zealand and Japan. European countries
visited have included Switzerland, Germany, Holland and the Scandinavian countries.
The ISB has released numerous CDs of Salvation Army music and featured in national television
and radio broadcasts.
In 2008 The Salvation Army signed a record contract with Universal Music, the worlds leading
record company and musical home of Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Take That to raise additional
funds for its social work in the UK. In November 2008 the ISB released its first CD entitled
‘Together’ under the UCJ music label.
