About these Karaoke

If you're looking for some fantastic entertainment on a budget, then karaoke is a brilliant way to add a whole new level of audience interaction to your event. Though it can seem daunting at first, all it takes is a couple of drinks and the right atmosphere, and soon even the most shy guest will be belting out their favourite songs!

There are many reasons why a live band may not be practical for an event. Rather than simply sticking on a CD or playlist, why not get your guests involved and give them the option to sing along to their favourite songs!

"Excellent communication from the start and very easy to organise. We had a fabulous night mostly had Karaoke but Gingers has all the songs you asked for. Everyone was either singing or dancing and had lots of people comment how good he was. Thanks for making our celebrations a blast!"

Karaoke will be perfect for a whole host of events. Their flexible set up allows them to fit into smaller venues. Birthday parties, weddings, charity events and all sorts of other functions will benefit from the addition of Karaoke!

When booking Karaoke:

One of the first things to consider about karaoke is whether or not you want the system manned by a DJ. Some providers give the option to simply show you how the machine works and leave you to it. Others may give the option to DJ between songs and to MC proceedings. If you want to add more order to things and avoid any potential for chaos, then the latter may be the better option.

Many venues will require your DJ to have all of their equipment PAT tested for electrical safety, as well as being able to provide adequate proof of Public liability Insurance. Discuss both with your Karaoke provider before hand.

Although most machines will come with a huge variety of songs available, if you have any particular favourites, then speak to your DJ in advance to make sure they can be provided.

Karaoke Trivia

Although this concept has been in the UK (and the rest of the world!) for many years now, the word "karaoke" is still one of this country's most incorrectly spelt words. Far more people get it wrong than right! All sorts of variations exist, the most popular being "karoke". However, you will also see shops selling "kareoke system or kareokee players" and "karokee or karioki discs" and even pubs advertising "karioke Nites". Did you spell it correctly!?
