A Queer Choir Blooms in Candelo

In the quiet town of Candelo, a new queer choir called Pandemonium is turning Wednesday nights into vibrant celebrations of song, community, and belonging. Founded by April Davis and Pip Treloar with local musician Robyn Martin at the helm, the group has drawn over twenty locals — and even their dogs — each week since May, turning the town hall into a joyful hub where LGBTQ+ voices are heard and celebrated. Inspired by rainbow lorikeets and fueled by tunes like their own “One I Need,” the choir is more than music — it’s a lifeline for queer folks in remote areas, proving that connection and joy can blossom anywhere, even in the smallest towns. They’re pausing for now, but plans are already underway to expand to nearby towns like Bega — because for many, this is where home truly begins.
