Protesters from South Yorkshire sang in a Sheffield church during a “very powerful” fundraiser for Palestine on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece was performed at Christ Church in Pitsmoor by The Tadhamon Singers<\/a>, a group of 17 women who perform protest songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer Carolyn Leary, 67, said: “Some of it, we struggled to sing because even we were in tears. I think we make a very powerful connection of solidarity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janet Wood, 72, the musical director of the group, said: \u201cI think there is something about singing that just touches people\u2019s hearts. You can march and you can wave the flags and you can talk, but there\u2019s something about singing that gets to them on a deeper level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
