ORGANOKE is Karaoke but not as you know it. We specialise in creating crazy, joyful communal singing events in a grade 2* listed church with that much underused and overlooked instrument - The Mighty Organ.
Whilst thinking of fundraising ideas for the Organ, a unique idea emerged: blending the majesty of a historic organ with the exuberance of karaoke! They added a five-piece band, and the unparalleled skills of MC, Ida Barr, and thus, ORGANOKE was born.
ORGANOKE is not your typical evening out; it's an experience that transcends tradition: described as "a bit like the end of a wedding reception with the boring bits taken out" and it's evolved to become not just a vibrant, joyous event where the audience is the star of the show; it's a movement that celebrates the power of music and community.
- Can’t sing? No problem - Sing en mass in the first half so everyone else will drown you out!
- Won’t sing? You are guaranteed to be by the end of the night.
- Desperate to sing solo? Decide what you want to perform and you’ll have a chance to take centre stage in the second half...only if the Tombola is kind to you!
