THE Pub Choir will be in Goondiwindi in October to kick-off off their National Tour.
Scheduled for Saturday, October 4 at the Goondiwindi Waggamba Community Cultural Centre, the event is sure to hit a high note, as Pub Choir is famously known for transforming any group into a singing sensation.
Goondiwindi councillor, Phil O’Shea, who holds Council’s Arts and Culture portfolio, said whether participants are seasoned singers or crooning novices, everyone is encouraged to join in on the musical fun.
“Goondiwindi Regional Council is always pleased to support the arts and culture in the region and Goondiwindi hosted a Pub Choir a number of years ago,” Cr O’Shea said.
“It was a huge success. I expect tickets will sell out quickly, so make sure you get in early.”
Partnering with Goondiwindi Regional Council, Pub Choir will donate $5 from each ticket to the local Dolly Parton Imagination Library program.
“This is an incredible program that helps put books into the hands of children under five every month worldwide, which currently includes 393 children across the Goondiwindi Region,” Cr O’Shea said.
The program operates through a collaborative effort between Council, Care Goondiwindi, United Way Australia, and other sponsors, with Council contributing towards the program.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to fundraise for the program, a cause we can all agree is excelling at supporting children’s literacy,” Cr O’Shea said.
Attendees will learn to belt out a popular tune, accompanied by a three-part harmony, on Pub Choir’s quest to prove that anyone can sing.
“We’d love to see the community come together for a fantastic night out. Not only will they be supporting early childhood literacy in our region, but we also have the Goondiwindi Junior Rugby Union committee running the bar as a fundraiser,” Cr O’Shea said.
“This is a genuine community effort, and I thank the Pub Choir team for considering our region as part of their national tour.”
Tickets for the event are on sale now and are limited, so get in quickly.
