The venue may be grand. The backing vocals will not be subtle.

Big live karaoke band choruses. Belted out like a national anthem.
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 picks the song. Their pals immediately claim co-writing credit.
Party warning
May cause surprise solos, aggressive harmonies and one pal insisting they can definitely hit the high note.
Someone picks 500 Miles. The entire room accepts the assignment.
One singer takes the verses. Everyone else belts out the chorus like Scotland has just scored.
Real guitars. Unlicensed air guitar from everyone else.
The band launches into the opening riff and half the room immediately joins a rock group that does not technically exist.
The high note was ambitious. The commitment was magnificent.
One brave singer goes for it while the rest of the room belts out every word they actually know.
The song starts. So do the dance moves nobody has attempted since 2004.
Old lyrics return instantly, dignity leaves quietly and every table suddenly has a routine.
Apparently Strip the Willow was only the warm-up.
The ceilidh ends, somebody scans the QR code and the same people who needed a seat are suddenly demanding a solo.
One last singer. One enormous Scottish backing group.
The final microphone goes up and the whole room belts out the ending like an encore has already been approved.
Speeches, ceilidh, party band and Bandeoke
The live band gets the party flying. Bandeoke hands the mic to Scotland’s next highly unofficial superstar.
The microphones do not need to open the moment the music starts. We build the atmosphere with professional live sets first, then launch the opening singer when the room is ready. Where a ceilidh is part of the plan, we coordinate the timings so every part of the Scottish wedding gets its moment.
The speeches finish. The ceilidh has its moment. Then somebody scans the QR code.

Professional vocals and huge party songs fill the floor before the singer queue begins.

The host introduces the opener. The room goes quiet for roughly two seconds. Then the band kicks in.
One singer unlocks the partyLet the queue grow
Pals, cousins and colleagues keep coming, the choruses get bigger and the night races towards a full-room finale.
Finish at headline 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. The order can move around dinner, speeches, a separate ceilidh set, surprises and venue requirements.
The full live karaoke production
Professional musicians, synced lyrics and everything needed to run the takeover.
The band, singing host, QR song system, performer queue, lyric videos and event planning arrive as one complete entertainment package. The performances feel spontaneous because the important work has already happened behind the scenes.
The singing can be bold. The planning stays sensible.
Five professional musicians. No karaoke backing track in sight.
A charismatic singing host leads a brilliant live lineup delivering polished party sets before, between and after the Bandeoke performances. Even before the first guest singer, this is a band built to fill the dance floor.

Edinburgh live karaoke questions
Before your guests become rockstars.
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, a ceilidh and live karaoke performances.
We organise the band. Your pals decide who sings first.
Do you perform throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Yes. The Bandeoke Band performs throughout the city and surrounding areas, including the Old Town, New Town, Leith, west and south Edinburgh, South Queensferry, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian.
What does an Edinburgh 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.
Can Bandeoke work alongside a ceilidh?
Yes. We can plan the running order around a separate ceilidh band or ceilidh set, allowing time for Scottish dancing, professional party-band music and the Bandeoke takeover without the evening feeling overcrowded.
Does it work for destination weddings with international guests?
Yes. The QR system is simple to use, the host explains the process clearly and familiar songs give local and international guests an easy way to join the same party.
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, a ceilidh, cake and venue timings.
Can you work with Edinburgh 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.
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.
Ready to find out who has been waiting all night to sing?
Tell us what you are celebrating, where it is happening and who is coming. We will build the live band, Bandeoke takeover and production around your Scottish wedding, party or corporate event.
