There'll be the usual over-the-top karaoke stage again in 2025.  

​

You just need to pick your song from the list, write it down on a request slip and hand it into charles who'll then call you up when it's your turn to sing.

​

the service we use has a lot of variety in the karaoke songs, and you don't have to stick strictly to the disco theme, but try to stay in the area at least until it gets late and people have forgotten there's a theme at all.

​

Although hopefully, if my stage-construction skills are up to it, there should be a large visual clue to the disco theme for us all to see.

​

nobody is going to pressure you into singing, but if your name is down on a card you will be called up to sing.  Of course, you can say you've changed your mind, but if your name is down, there is a little bit of pressure to sing.​

​

For that reason, please don't submit a card with someone else's name on because you think it's funny.  It's not.  They will get asked to sing when they don't want to, and that's not pleasant for them.

​

if you have instructions such as wanting the key of the song changed or wanting a specific version, then please write those instructions down or have a chat with charles when he calls your name.

​

​whatever you want to do at karaoke is fine, there is no pressure to be a great singer; it's your time and so what matters is that you enjoy it.

​

If you'd like some karaoke tips, though, I've put some together...
