Jo Hussey, of the Silent Singers, mimes the words of a popular song at a lunchtime concert in Cathedral Square yesterday. She and two other women, Noeline Still and Claire Liddicoat, make up the group which aims to promote deaf awareness in the community by performing in schools, churches and at private functions. Last year they also appeared on Telethon. The three women, who are all deaf, practice each week after work with the help of a prompt. A tape of the music is played and the prompt leads the group like a conductor so that they mime at the correct time to match the words of the song.
