If you've shopped in Woolworths lately and heard an angelic chorus in the next aisle... no, you weren't dreaming.
For the last three weeks, the Home Hill Choral Society has been spreading Christmas cheer to all corners of the supermarket with soulful renditions of classic Christmas carols in what has become a tradition over recent festive seasons.
"We look forward to it every year," said group member Erin Brennan.
"We just enjoy singing... and aim to spread the message of joy."
The group spreads out, popping up in different positions of the store for around an hour each night, offering a peaceful soundtrack to the otherwise frantic last-minute Christmas shopping.
"Some people like to get involved... Others go a different direction," laughed Brennan.
The performances round off a successful year for the Choral Society, which produced and performed four original shows, all of which played to full houses at The Vault in Home Hill. Crowd favourites included the Italian-themed Viva L'Italia, a mix of classic Italian anthems and the group's signature comedy sketches, and 2025—The Year That Was, which combined the Burdekin's favourite songs and sketches from the past year.
The group also accompanied global opera star Paul Tabone during his Viva Pavarotti show at the Burdekin Theatre in September.
The Choral society remains optimistic of more success heading into the new year, with a Neil Diamond tribute in the works to kick 2026 off in style. Further details are not yet available.
