What is Rockaoke?
PLEASE NOTE - DUE to COVID AND CONCERNS WITH SHARING MICROPHONES, ALL ROCKAOKE ACTIVITIES ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED. We hope to be able to bring it back once it is safe to do so…
Rockaoke is like Karaoke. Except it isn't.
It is SOOOO much better. Click the video below for a taster:
ROCKAOKE is when a rock band (us!) invites members of the audience (you!) up on stage to sing with them.
If you've ever had a secret (or blatant!) fantasy to front a band and rock out, or you have simply been curious to see what it would be like - Rockaoke is your chance to jump on stage and sing with a LIVE band! I mean, how much fun are these guys having?!
"Rockaoke with Mind The Gap was the best thing we have EVER done! We can't stop talking about it! You guys ROCK!" - Gates Restaurant, New Canaan, CT. May 7th 2016.
Husband's birthday coming up? Is he having a mid-life crisis? Having us play at his birthday party, and having him sing with us, will stop him feeling the need to buy a new Ferrari - Guaranteed.*
There is a list of dozens of songs to choose from. (see the Setlist page on this site). This list and sign-up sheets can be sent to your guests in advance, and / or we can create a bespoke webpage for your event giving all the details, and allowing guests to sign-up for their song online**. We can also provide them on the night, of course and can brand them with your corporate logo if that is your thing.
Would-be participants are asked to provide their name(s) and select a song. When their turn comes, singers are invited to join the band onstage. Lyrics are provided either on lyric sheets or on a screen but the music is "LIVE" - so no karaoke machines or bouncy balls!
Guests can come up solo and experience the amazing buzz of being a Rock Star frontman (or woman), or use "strength in numbers" to alleviate nerves and hook up with friends to sing together.
We usually find that once one or two people have done it, and the ice is broken - that the rest of the night is spent trying to wrestle the mic from people's hands, so that everyone gets a turn! We can even provide souvenir t-shirts!
Live the dream. Make your fantasies come true. Don't just party - ROCKAOKE!
