Be a Rock-star or Soul Diva for the night! - welcome to...
'The Bandeoke Experience'
What is The Bandeoke Experience?
Karaoke, a popular form of entertainment, has evolved into something far more exciting - live band karaoke! Instead of performing with a machine you have the opportunity to strut your stuff with a live professional band! Oh yeah!
The concept of live band karaoke is commonly called Bandeoke, Bandaoke, Rockaoke, and Rockeoke amongst others; it's the same thing though.
How does The Bandeoke Experience work?
Simply put you and your guests pick your song from our extensive song menu and come up and sing with us, full on-screen lyrics and microphones provided.
All you have to do is embrace the incredibly fun opportunity that is performing with an experienced band and let your hair down with your friends/family and colleagues.

Thank you to all our clients so far in 2023 for booking us, it’s been an absolutely rammed year so far (to August), and we are really looking forward to the later part of the year. Our team in the north have been increasingly busy, with lots of shows in Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool. Lots of action for our team in London and the Southeast as always, with some particularly large shows in the Docklands, and also some lovely bookings for our Oxford/ Midlands/ Bristol and Southwest team. We know we should be doing it, but there has been minimal time to post much on social media, but please do check out the beautiful flow of reviews on our Trustpilot page along with our blog on this site as that gets updated at least more regularly than our social platforms.
Everyone everywhere has been waiting for this pandemic, which has been painful for so many of our society, to pass. We have been hopeful that things would pick up, but now we are completely over-joyed with level of bookings for the the show, it’s fantastic; weddings, birthdays, a stag do, and corporates, including Red Bull (click for blog post), helping us get back into action in 2021 and 2022 - June 2022 was joyously record breaking. The business of celebrating life and having a party with family, friends and colleagues… is back, and we are looking forward to a sizzling 2022 and 2023!
After a record breaking autumn and Xmas, 2020 began with gusto not least with big shows for Coca Cola at the ACC in Liverpool and VW at the Radisson Blu in Heathrow, we we’re looking forward to another fabulous year until the pandemic hit :(
