The great and good of left-leaning politics woke up with sore heads and bleary eyes this morning, in the aftermath of the Mirror’s legendary Labour Conference party.
The event, branded the “best night of conference” by Jeremy Corbyn himself, saw Labour luminaries let down their hair – and do questionable karaoke with our live house band ROCKAOKE.
Our memory of the evening is fairly hazy to be honest, but here’s a few things from last night’s conference party that we just couldn’t unsee.
Not long now until Standon Calling 2017. 27-30 july in Standon, Herts. Such a great line-up! We think the best yet!!!

Here’s one of our favourite videos ever – featuring Grace Whitford at Standon Calling 2014…
Kaiser Chiefs may have performed on the main stage on the Friday afternoon of the Isle Of Wight Festival, but frontman Ricky Wilson wasn’t ready to go home just yet.
Ricky made a surprise appearance at the Rockaoke stage, aka Camp Kiwi on Sunday afternoon (11 June).
The one-time coach on The Voice treated surprised fans to renditions of Kaiser Chiefs classics including Ruby and I Predict A Riot, swapping the rest of the Chiefs with the Rockaoke band.
Ricky Wilson of The Kaiser Chiefs entertained crowds with Rockaoke at the Old Mout Cider Tent at the Isle of Wight Festival
Old Mout Cider’s Kiwi Camp hosted yoga sessions and invited guests to take part in a ‘Rockaoke’ with Kaiser Chiefs lead singer Ricky Wilson and installed a superhero-themed slide, which visitors could slide down while dressed up in superhero costumes. Festival-goers could also sample three different flavours of the cider.
Kaiser Chiefs performed at the Isle of Wight Festival on the Old Mout Cider Tent stage. Ricky put on an energetic show and got up close to the fans. The band were among the acts entertaining fans at the music event this weekend.
