Everybody can sing, and the Pub Choir organisers on a mission to prove it.

What began as a Brisbane-based, monthly, Wednesday night institution has hit the Bruce Highway.

The Great Western Hotel in Rockhampton has already received more than 500 booking for tomorrow's sing-along.

Pack yourself into a pub with hundreds of strangers, learn a song in three-part harmony in 90 minutes, perform it twice, and if the publishing gods are smiling, have it immortalised in video forever.

No audition, no solos, no commitments, no sheet music, NO WORRIES.

Music belongs to everybody. So grab a beer, relax, and simply open your sound hole (your mouth, FYI). It's rowdy, wholesome, and so much damn fun.

The Pub Choir also visits Charleville, Longreach, Winton, Mount Isa, Port Douglas, Cairns, Mission Beach, Townsville and Mackay.

It will be a quick turnaround for the people who attended the Lee Kernaghan standing room only gig at the GWH on Saturday night.

More than 1,200 punters rocked the night away at the Kernaghan/Wolfe Brothers/Christie Lamb gig.

The Great Western Hotel will also play host to Jon Stevens, Busby Marou and Suzie Quatro later this year.
