A city born in blood, mud and immigration, which grew through adventure, betrayal and treason – fought to breathe the dirt, muck and scum of survival – raged through the pains of passion – Threw thee before greed and bankruptcy of emotion and thought, struggled for freedom, rights and the welfare of all, danced, skanked and bogled for the cause of man and woman's need to be – and express happiness – we give you the working man's Mozart – a bright shining virus of joy therapy for the masses and a belter of a good night.
