New role for singer Alston Koch
The Island
|October 07, 2025
Singer Alston Koch, of 'Disco Lady' fame, is in the news again, in a big way, but not as a performer!
-
Reports coming my way indicate that Alston has been appointed Envoy for the Commonwealth Union to Australia and the Pacific Region, and that the appointment came into effect on 03rd October, 2025.
Alston, they say, will represent the Commonwealth Union and promote its objectives in line with the People's Charter of the Commonwealth, focusing on strengthening regional collaboration, advancing the Commonwealth Union's mission of inclusivity and sustainability, and fostering greater engagement with communities across Australia and the Pacific.
