Rockaoke @ Bloomsbury Ballroom
2007-11-23
"You are cordially invited to an evening of "Rockaoke" in aid of the Alzheimer's Society on Friday the 23 rd November at 7pm in the beautiful setting of the Bloomsbury Ballroom, Holborn ( www.vpmg.net/bloomsbury ). I really hope you can make it and encourage you to invite all of your friends along in order to raise as much money as possible for the charity – the more the merrier .
Rockaoke is a professional rock band consisting of bona fide session musicians more used to providing music for the likes of Jarvis Cocker and Def Leppard who have come together to revolutionize the world of Karaoke! Choosing to work without a lead vocalist they instead invite members of the audience on stage to perform a set of classic rock covers with a sprinkling of disco and cheese thrown in for good measure! The band made front-page headlines in summer 2006 when they were invited to take their winning formula to Manumission in Ibiza and were joined on stage by Kaiser Chief's Ricky Wilson (singing his own hit "I predict A Riot") and New York rockers We Are Scientists.
Whether you are looking for your 5 glorious minutes of fame or just want to lend your support to those brave enough to take to the stage, strap on your air guitar and come along for what promises to be a supersonic evening ! Following Rockaoke the fabulous “ Hot Or Not ” will storm the stage with a truly theatrical DJ set filled with music to make you move! Hot on their heels are “ The Maestro & alFer ” who will take over with a rock infused danceathon spinning everything from AC/DC to Justice. These are 2 performances not to be missed!
Be sure to arrive early as from 7-9pm 3 IS the Magic Number! Selected double spirits with mixers, house wine, bottled beer and 2 shots of Tequila or Sambuca just £3!
Entry fee is a bargain at £10 per head. All proceeds raised go to the Alzheimer's Society, the UK 's leading care and research charity for people with dementia, their families and carers ( www.alzheimers.org.uk ).
