ABOUT ORGANOKE
Now celebrating ten years, ORGANOKE is London's original live karaoke experience, pitting karaoke classics against a full live band and a historic church organ in the spiritual surrounds of St Giles', Camberwell.
Created in 2016 by Jordana, Tom and Organist supremo Ashley, they set out to raise awareness and funds for the restoration of the church's 1844 organ with an attempted Guinness World Record Organ Marathon. They thought karaoke with the organ would make a fun segment, so they added a five piece band, bought a projector and screen, and enlisted the help of hostess Ida Barr, and thus ORGANOKE was born. What started as a one off fundraiser has since grown into a beloved Camberwell institution, drawing fun loving party people from across the city for nights of mass singalong joy. Profits raised from ORGANOKE go towards the ongoing maintenance and future restoration of the organ at St Giles'.
ORGANOKE is an original idea and a registered trademark. Accept no imitations.
Live At St Giles CIC was created and founded by passionate Camberwell locals Jordana and Tom Leighton are who were married at St Giles in 2011. St Giles is a working church, and all shows are carefully curated to respect the spirituality and sanctity of the space, offering a captivating backdrop for classical and contemporary live music, so artists can perform closer to their audiences than ever before. They are both co-founders producers and directors of ORGANOKE. @liveatstgiles
