Calling all singers

Out Tonight is our very own gay and lesbian choir. You don’t have to be a great singer and there is no audition process, you just have to love singing. The choir meets every Monday night at ACON Hunter. For more information send an email to [email protected]

If a choir is not your thing, maybe you want to head to The Gateway Hotel every Friday and Saturday night for Karaoke and cash from 9.30pm.
