Rockeoke Thursdays

Rockeoke puts you in front of a live band instead of a backing track. Every Thursday at The Merchant in Battersea, the musicians respond to what you're singing, which means the vibe shifts with each person who steps up. It's less polished than studio karaoke, more immediate.

You get to belt out your song with real instruments behind you. Works best if you're already comfortable with karaoke or you've got friends who'll push you into it. Local Battersea crowd, Thursday night slot - if you want to sing with live musicians rather than a backing track, it's where you go.
