The Pub Choir phenomenon

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm today

It all started with 70 strangers in a Brisbane pub belting out Dave Dobbyn's A Slice of Heaven seven years ago. Now thousands of people around the world  join  New Zealand born creator and director Astrid Jorgensen who is selling out venues around the world with shows where the audience members become the performers.  After some tuition from Jorgensen and a PowerPoint with all the words, people who may never have sung in public before coming together to form a chorus and sing songs in three-part harmony.
