70s & 80s Singalong Paint and Sip 13th March Townsville NQ 6pm
“The whole room felt like joy!!”
Thermie Carmie, five-star Google review
Real nights, real canvases
Painted by real guests
Every one of these Whale of a Time canvases was painted by a guest at a Paint Juicy night, one step at a time, somewhere between the singalongs. No art skills needed. Yours is next.
Mixtape mood
Songs you might be singing
- Dancing Queen, ABBA
- Don't Stop Me Now, Queen
- I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor
- Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler

Every night's playlist is a little different, so treat this as the vibe, not the setlist.
Saturday night, disco and classic rock, live vocals from Lotti Rem and two humpbacks breaching across a sunset you get to mix yourself. You leave with a finished canvas and a sore voice.
Good to know: 18+ only. No BYO, bar on site.
Recognised as a Best of Queensland Experience every year since 2022
What this night is
This is not a hushed little painting workshop. This is a Paint Juicy night. Big energy, bigger music, and a room laughing at its own canvases by the second hour.
Lotti Rem is on live vocals the whole way through, so the singalong is a real voice leading the room rather than a playlist and a hopeful nudge. Your host guides every brushstroke on the mic, so nobody gets stranded at step four. Natural breaks between layers give everyone time to grab a drink, take photos and get their breath back before the next big chorus lands.
Disco, classic rock and the throwbacks everyone secretly knows every word to. This is the second night of our Townsville run, so if Friday sold out or you fancy both, the artwork and the era are completely different and you will not paint the same thing twice.
Bring the group chat, bring your mum, bring the mate who swears they cannot draw. If this date does not suit, have a look at what else is coming up in Townsville and across the rest of Queensland.
Tonight's Artwork
Whale of a Time
Two humpbacks launch out of the water against a sunset that cannot pick just one colour, deep blue up top melting through pink, red and gold at the horizon. One breaches with a fin in the air while a tail waves off to the side, and under the surface a little school of fish darts through the turquoise. Big, bold and completely doable from the very first brushstroke, with all the room in the world to make that sky your own.

"That was such a refreshing evening out. Even though I'm not very artistic, I found the step-by-step instructions really simple to follow. The sing-along songs were a huge hit too!"

Before you arrive
Arrive a few minutes early. The Twin City Hotel has a bar, so sort your drinks and find your seat before painting starts at 6pm.
Wear clothes you do not mind painting in. We supply aprons but acrylic paint is enthusiastic and occasionally ambitious.
Dress ups are absolutely welcomed. Flares, sequins, big collars and anything your mum wore to a blue light disco.
Tickets are online only and they are not sold at the door, so book before the night.
Buying this as a gift? We have gift cards that never expire.
Buy a Gift CardHow the night runs
Arrive early, grab a drink, find your seat. Everything is already waiting at your easel.
Host kicks off with Lotti Rem on live vocals, and painting starts step by step from a blank canvas.
Natural breaks for top ups, photos and the choruses that get louder every round.
Final details, group photo, canvas wrapped. You go home with a sunset full of whales and a much better story than a normal Saturday.
FAQs
Who is singing?
Lotti Rem is on live vocals for the full session, working the 70s and 80s catalogue while you paint. Live singing, not a speaker in the corner.
Is singing along optional?
Technically yes. Realistically you will not resist. Expect call and response moments and choruses you forgot you knew every word to.
Do I need painting experience?
None at all. We guide every step from blank canvas to finished painting, and that sunset is far more forgiving than it looks.
Can I do both Townsville nights?
Yes, and a few people will. Friday is the 80s and 90s with a sea turtle, Saturday is the 70s and 80s with the whales. Different era, different canvas, book them separately.
Is this good for a hens or birthday group?
Absolutely. Hens nights and birthdays are the two most common private bookings we run. Add a note at checkout if you are celebrating and we will give the guest of honour a shout out on the night.
Can I come alone?
Yes, and plenty of people do. We seat you with other friendly humans so you are part of it from the first song.
Can groups who book separately sit together?
Yes. Add a note at checkout with the name of your group and we will seat you together.
Can I BYO food or drinks?
No BYO. The Twin City Hotel has a bar, so drinks are available to buy on the night.
Where do I buy tickets?
Right here on the Paint Juicy website. Tickets are not sold at the door, so book your seat online before the night.
