Bandeoke! What do you think?

I've never heard of that before, nice to do something different. If you like it, go for it, its your wedding at the end of the day. Not my cuppa tea, as I can't stand karaoke or band music for that matter, but each to their own and all that. Your other half likes the idea too, so if you know a lot of people who like to do karaoke, it could prove to be fun for them and a big hit.

Yeah I am pretty sure its 'up the street' of quite a few of our friends and family (bunch of show offs haha)!

We deff want live music and like you say this seems a bit different!

Thanks for replying

Never heard of that before, sounds great to me! My OH's side would love that!

Excellent- may have to invite them to get the party started !!

Haha think they're busy that day!

Sounds like a great way to break the ice!

Imagine that?!?!

That sounds awesome, may have to look into it myself, I'd love it...

Go for it!

So far 2-1 to go for it ?

I'd say go for it too. I've only heard it called Rockaoke before but same thing.

Sounds like my idea of hell, but I know loads of my friends would love this.

So if you love it and your friends are usually the get up and have a go at karaoke type then go for it.

Love this and am kinda gutted that I can't have it, we have a Chinese near us that has a private room you can hire and have karaoke, literally my 2 favourite things put together!!

Sounds cool! I've never heard of this before but sounds like the sort of thing we would have - I want a band and OH wants karaoke so this is a great way to combine the two! DO IT!

(I'm going to get straight onto looking into this...)

That made me laugh!!

Thanks for the replies all- the other half has e-mailed a group that do it who are based in Manchester so we shall see what they come up with for us

If folk don't want to get up and have a go themselves I think they'll enjoy watching the pros and the wannabes!

It's not really my thing, if I sung I'd empty the room but I'm sure with the right crowd it'll be great fun!

I will probably have this effect! but by rights everyone will have to stay and suffer- you know being the bride and all that haha

Sounds great. OH wants our DJ to allow karaoke, but I don't want it. We went to a joint 21st/double 50th recently and the karaoke was horrendous. It was just 3 little girls every time screeching away and mumbling the words they didn't already know. It really spoilt the flow of the evening as everybody cleared the dance floor and took ages to get back up, a lot of the same people will be coming to the wedding and I don't want that to happen again. Love it at other peoples' parties though and always have a go, but never on my own - I don't know how people do that!

I've been to a party that had Rockeoke before, and if the people there are up for joining in, it is really good fun. Only problem is when people sing who don't sound very good, that seemed to clear the room pretty quickly.

Yeah that is the downside I think.

Depending on what the norm is I think we would have more time allowed for the band than karaoke style initially and then could always change it for the second set to just the band if everyone sucks!! Or vice versa.

Same!
