This is rockaoke: live guitars, real drums and absolutely no karaoke backing track.
Every song is prepared for a live lineup, with synced lyrics and a band ready to follow the singer—not a singer trying to keep up with a cheap instrumental. Choose the safe crowd-pleaser, the ridiculous vocal challenge or the song your friends will not let you avoid.
Confidence optional. A committed chorus is not.
Party warning
May uncover a suspiciously polished duet, an air-guitar department and one guest requesting an encore.
The chorus everybody knows before the singer reaches it.
A huge opening choice gets the room involved immediately and makes the next volunteer considerably easier to find.
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor. Live. In Yorkshire. Correct.
The riff lands, the room moves and one guest discovers a previously unannounced front-person stance.
The vocal is ambitious. The commitment is beyond question.
The room stops worrying about technical accuracy somewhere between the first high note and the enormous chorus.
The university group remembers every lyric and none of the choreography.
One song brings back the voices, the moves and at least one story that should remain away from the microphone.
One microphone. Six friends insisting this was always a group song.
The solo becomes a duet, the duet becomes a choir and the stage capacity becomes a working theory.
By the last song, the whole room has joined the band.
The final singer handles the verses. Everybody else takes personal responsibility for the ending.
How the night builds
We get the room dancing before anybody has to be brave for bandeoke.
The live karaoke does not need to begin cold. We use professional party-band sets to bring the room together, then open the singer lineup when people are ready to join rather than simply watch.
Nobody gets dragged up. The first singer opens the door and the rest usually follow.
A popular way to run the showBuilt around your schedule
Let the important bits happen properly
Dinner, speeches, awards, cake and formalities keep their place without competing with the entertainment.
The schedule comes firstFill the dance floor first
Big professional live sets bring every table, generation and department into the same party.
Build the roomStart with somebody ready to go
Plan a confident opener, hide a surprise performance or let the first natural volunteer set it off.
No awkward beginningLet the guest lineup take over
We manage the names, vary the songs and keep every call-up moving so the energy never drops.
More singing. Less waiting.Popular format
Two 45-minute party-band sets followed by around 60 minutes of Bandeoke.
Use that as the starting point, not a fixed package. The guest-singer section can be shorter, split through the night or expanded until Bandeoke becomes the main event.
What arrives with the band
Everything needed to turn a guest request into a proper live performance.
The musicians, host, song list, queue, lyrics and production work as one show. Your guest only needs to choose the song and step up; we handle everything that gets them from the QR code to the first count-in.
The singer can improvise. The production absolutely does not.
A brilliant party band even before the first guest sings.
A singing host leads guitar, keys, bass and drums through full professional party sets and every guest performance. The show never depends on how quickly the room becomes brave.
Singing hostGuitarKeysBassDrums
The lyrics, singer queue and call-ups all run from one stage-ready setup.
No paper slips, random backing tracks or somebody searching YouTube while the dance floor waits. Our team operates the entire guest-singer side of the show.
Singing hostCalls each performer, supports nervous singers and keeps the whole room involved.

We plan the show around the access, room and production requirements—not how close the postcode is to a city centre.
Your venue is not on the list? The band still travels.
We cover hotels, halls, marquees, private estates and rural venues throughout Yorkshire, including spaces where access, sound limits or staging need more detailed advance planning.
Before the first name is called
Before your guests become rockstars.
The performances should feel spontaneous. The access, production and running order should already be sorted.
Less guesswork backstage. More glorious overconfidence on stage.
Do you cover the whole of Yorkshire?
Yes. We perform across west, south, north and east Yorkshire, including the major cities, market towns, Dales, Moors, coast and surrounding countryside.
Can you perform in historic York venues and listed buildings?
Yes, where amplified live entertainment is permitted. We work around access windows, approved suppliers, noise conditions, curfews and any restrictions attached to the room.
Will Bandeoke work in a large Leeds or Sheffield event space?
Yes. For bigger rooms we plan PA coverage, stage dimensions, sightlines and additional lyric or video screens so the guest performances still connect with the whole audience.
What do you need from a rural barn venue?
Vehicle access, load-in distance, power, stage dimensions, sound-limiter details and the venue curfew. Once those are clear, we can design a practical setup for the space.
Can you use the venue’s existing sound and lighting?
Yes, provided it meets the show specification. We send the technical requirements in advance and agree exactly who is supplying PA, monitors, lighting, lyric screens and crew.
How much stage space does the five-piece band need?
The exact footprint depends on the lineup, lyric screen and production setup. Share the usable dimensions and we will advise on a layout that keeps the musicians safe and the guest singer visible.
Does anybody get forced to sing?
No. Guests join through the song system because they want to perform. The host supports volunteers but never drags people up or turns reluctance into part of the show.
Can Bandeoke be a shorter part of the evening?
Yes. Use it as a compact interactive feature, the final hour or the main event. The balance between professional band sets and guest performances is agreed around your schedule.
Can we secretly prepare a surprise singer?
Yes. A partner, friend, relative or colleague can arrange a song in advance so the band is prepared while the reveal remains a surprise for everybody else.
Can we request a song that is not on the list?
Possibly. Advance requests need enough time for the band arrangement, key and synced lyrics to be prepared properly. We confirm what is workable before adding it to the show.
What happens if a guest loses the words?
The host, lyric screen and musicians provide clear cues throughout. We are used to guiding non-professional singers back in without stopping the performance.
Can the show be branded for a company event?
Yes. Options include branded lyric graphics, walk-up cues, audience screens, live cameras and larger staging for conferences, awards nights and company celebrations.
