A live party band your whole crowd can actually join.
Bandeoke, or Rockaoke, combines polished live music with the brilliant unpredictability of friends, family and colleagues taking the lead. We shape the party-band sets, singer takeover and production around the occasion—not the other way round.
The venue looks elegant. The chorus sounds like match day.
A wedding band that turns the reception into the concert.
Begin with a packed dance floor, launch a planned first singer and let bridesmaids, best men, family and friends create a one-night-only performance nobody else could repeat.

Big live-band choruses. Very little chance of a quiet table.
The strongest Bandeoke songs are instantly recognisable and impossible to leave to one person. Pick a huge pop hook, a rock anthem, a throwback or the guilty pleasure everybody pretends not to love.
One person chooses the song. The rest of the room treats it as a national responsibility.
Party warningMay cause surprise solos, competitive harmonies and backing vocals with stadium ambition.
The hook everybody knows before the singer reaches it.
The microphone starts on stage. The chorus immediately spreads to every table in the room.
Real guitars. Highly unofficial air guitar everywhere else.
The opening riff lands and half the room joins a rock band that does not technically exist.
The solo lasts until Wales recognises the chorus.
After that, the lead singer is mostly responsible for pointing the microphone towards the room.
Every lyric returns. Dignity takes the evening off.
The first beat lands, old dance moves return and an entire table forgets what decade it is.
Nobody requested it. Apparently everybody rehearsed it.
A questionable choice becomes the song that pulls every corner of the room together.
One last singer. One enormous Welsh backing group.
The final microphone goes up and Cardiff finds another chorus at full international volume.
From party band to full-room singalong
The band fills the dance floor. Bandeoke turns it into the choir.
The microphones do not need to open the moment the music starts. Our professional singers and musicians build the atmosphere first, then the host launches the opening performer when the room is ready to get involved.
The speeches finish. The band lifts the room. Then Wales finds its voice.
A running order built around the partyFlexible around your schedule
Give the occasion its moment
Drinks, dinner, speeches, awards or cake happen without a microphone appearing at the wrong time.
Your schedule comes firstFill the floor with the live band
Professional vocals and huge party songs bring separate tables together before the singer queue begins.
Build the energy properlyCall the first name
The host introduces the opener, the musicians kick in and every table immediately begins choosing its representative.
One singer unlocks the roomLet the choir grow
More names join the queue, the choruses get bigger and the night races towards a full-room finale.
Finish at stadium volumePopular format
Two 45-minute party-band sets followed by around 60 minutes of Bandeoke.
This gives the professional band time to establish the dance floor before the live karaoke takeover. Timings can move around dinner, speeches, awards, surprises and venue requirements.
Professional musicians and full production
A complete live karaoke show—not a backing track and a hopeful microphone.
The musicians, singing host, QR song system, performer queue, synced lyrics and event planning arrive as one properly managed production. The performances feel spontaneous because everything important has already been organised.
The high notes are optional. The professional production is not.
Five brilliant musicians ready to carry the whole night.
A charismatic singing host leads a professional lineup delivering polished party sets before, between and after the Bandeoke performances. Even before the first call-up, this is a band built to fill a dance floor.

Singing hostCalls each performer, supports nervous singers and keeps the wider room involved.
QR song selectionThe crowd browses the live-ready repertoire and submits choices directly from a phone.
Managed singer queueWe organise the order, maintain variety and avoid six slow songs appearing in a row.

Cardiff live karaoke questions
Planning a wedding band or Bandeoke party in South Wales.
Send us the date, venue or postcode and approximate numbers. We will help plan the lineup, production and ideal balance between professional party-band sets and live karaoke performances.
We organise the band. Your friends decide who represents the table.
Do you perform throughout Cardiff and South Wales?
Yes. The Bandeoke Band performs throughout Cardiff, Cardiff Bay, Penarth, the Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly, Newport, Pontypridd, Bridgend and surrounding areas.
What does a Cardiff Bandeoke booking include?
The core show includes the five-piece live band, singing host, QR song selection, managed singer queue, synced lyric videos, stage lyric screen, event planning and the agreed sound and lighting setup.
How does the live karaoke song system work?
People scan the QR code, browse the live-ready repertoire and submit a choice from their phone. The host manages the order and calls each performer when the musicians are ready.
What happens if nobody wants to sing first?
We can plan a confident opener while the professional party-band set builds the room. Nobody is dragged on stage. Once the first performance lands, the queue usually grows naturally.
Can we book normal party-band sets too?
Yes. A popular structure is two 45-minute party-band sets followed by around 60 minutes of Bandeoke, although the order can be adapted around dinner, speeches, cake, awards and venue timings.
Can you work with Cardiff venue production teams?
Yes, subject to the venue requirements. We can bring the agreed PA and lighting setup or coordinate with approved sound and production already installed on site.
How much stage space is required?
The footprint depends on the lineup, PA and lyric-screen arrangement. We can plan for hotels, museums, civic venues, dedicated stages and more compact private rooms.
Can the show be branded for a corporate event?
Yes. Branded lyric graphics, walk-up cues, audience screens, live cameras and larger production can be added for conferences, awards nights, launches and company celebrations.
How do we check availability and price?
Send us the date, venue or postcode, event type and expected numbers. We will check the musicians, production requirements, travel and the most suitable format.
