Calling on Brisbane to be part of a record-breaking community choir singing The Wynnum Takes It All!
(yes, you read that correctly!)
Hey Brisbane, want to make a little musical history? Founder of the WYNNUM FRINGE, Tom Oliver is calling on Brisbane to set the world record for the largest gathering of people singing The Wynnum Takes It All in Wynnum on Saturday November 18 at 10am.
This free event welcomes everyone, whether seasoned singer or a shower crooner. And it’s ABBA, so there’s that!
Tom is inviting everyone to gather in the beautiful Wynnum Fringe Garden, he’ll lead the Community Choir in a morning of joy, music, and unity! He has also written the lyrics (see below) and listen here
“This year Wynnum Fringe is bigger, there’s more performers plus we are calling on people from everywhere to join us on Saturday 18 at 10am and help us make history with the largest community choir. We are taking on ABBA's The Winner Takes It All - or is it The Wynnum Takes It All? We should check if Benny & Bjorn didn't accidentally misspell the lyrics when writing it!" said Tom.
“We do love a pun at the Fringe, last year it was You Can’t Wynnum All But You Can Wynnum Fringe, and this year we’ve been inspired by ABBA, and are proudly putting Wynnum on the map!”

THE WYNNUM TAKES IT ALL
VERSE 1
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
CHORUS 1
The Wynnum Takes It All
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's our destiny
VERSE 2
The greatest town of all
On the fringe of Brisbane
It's where we love to be
Come and you will see
The best community
Young, and old and in-between
Sittin’ by the sea
It’s the place to be
CHORUS 2
The Wynnum Takes it All
The Bayside Festival
There's so much to see
Come join the party
The Wynnum Takes It All
The Bayside Festival
There's so much to see
Feel the energy!
The Wynnum Takes It All!
