Geoff Grevell and Sue Bradley love to sing … and they also love helping everyone have fun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 20, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every fortnight, the front bar at Wondai’s Warana Hotel Motel becomes a magnet for music lovers keen to “have a go” behind the mike on a Friday night.<\/p>\n

Wondai couple Geoff Grevell and Sue Bradley bring their “Love 2 Sing” karaoke gear – and an amazing 25,000 songs – to tempt the pub patrons to test their vocal skills.<\/p>\n

Also tempting is the cash jackpot in “Warana dollars” which currently stands at $90.<\/p>\n

The karaoke is free and everyone who is game enough to belt out a song is put into the draw for the jackpot prize.<\/p>\n

The singers range from the very good – such as Wondai resident Lyn Rodgers who admits she takes it “very seriously” – to the not-so-good … but nobody cares, so long as everyone’s having a good time.<\/p>\n

The fun kicks off at 7:30am and goes late into the night.<\/p>\n

Some nights as many as 16 singers can be seen taking turns at the microphone. Every time they sing, they get another chance in the jackpot draw.<\/p>\n

Geoff and Sue also take their karaoke equipment to Proston’s Golden Spurs Hotel once a month, and have also introduced the “jackpot” theme there, too.<\/p>\n

One of the singers taking to the floor on Friday night at the Warana was Hedley Fisher, from Goomeri.<\/p>\n

The well-known local singer travels down to Wondai every fortnight just to support Love 2 Sing.<\/p>\n

Hedley’s talents will also be on display next month when he performs with Cherbourg band Deadly Wayz at various venues during the South Burnett & Cherbourg On Show long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
