rockaoke parties
Whether they drop in as a surprise act, help to develop the theme of the evening or provide every aspect of a party from stage to lights to DJ, ROCKAOKE are such safe hands to be in that they are relied upon as house band at parties thrown by the likes of TOP GEAR. Such is their reputation that even rock royalty like PINK FLOYD’s David Gilmour call on them when they want to party with their loved ones…

“Most people said it was the best party they’ve ever been to and that the best thing about the best party they’ve ever been to was ROCKAOKE!” – Nick Jenkins – Dragons Den
Party like a rockstar!
From sexy cool London bars, to tasty castles in Tuscany. From the fab Cavern Club in Liverpool to a remote alpine lodge 3/4 of the way up Mont Blanc. ROCKAOKE never fails to ignite a party audience of any shape, size, age group or gender. Birthdays – 18ths to 80ths. Batmitzvah’s – where young and old take to the stage together.
ROCKAOKE have performed at significant birthday parties for the likes of Alan Shearer, Shaun Keaveny, anniversary parties for Guilty Pleasures and Crisis at Christmas, celebration parties for the European Ryder Cup team and house parties for Top Gear’s Richard Hammond.
“They effortlessly brought the whole audience into play over 3 hours and kept the party jumping with a very personal twist – most importantly with no big ego as the night wasn’t about them – it was about me!” – Jon Yantin – European Ops Director, The One Group

“He had hired ROCKAOKE, a live karaoke band who promise to help party-goers to LIVE THE DREAM. I’d have thought 63 caps and 30 goals for England was living the dream enough!” – The Sun re; Alan Shearer booking ROCKAOKE
The most obdurate of party-pooper’s cannot resist the charms of the band, the concept and the vibe that becomes the toast of parties for years afterwards. I mean you’d never get a straight talking, no nonsense, national hero like Alan Shearer to power through a Kings of Leon song in front of 200 people…..would you?

ROCK STARs don’t come much bigger than Ringo Starr, so imagine being just about to launch into a Beatles song and you spot him in the audience…!
ROCKAOKE were booked by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour to perform at his wife Polly Samson’s 50th birthday party. It was a proper star-studded event with guests including Ringo Starr, Jeff Beck, Nick Mason, Nick Cave, Tom Stoppard, Nigel Planer etc… David’s own band, featuring long-time bassist Guy Pratt and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera, played the “support” slot leaving Polly and David’s family and friends to headline the night with ROCKAOKE…!
“The band had a tough act to follow as Polly’s husband David Gilmour had performed a few of his own tracks earlier in the night. But they did an amazing job! Guests of all ages got involved and rocked out the tunes accompanied by the fabulous ROCKAOKE guys all of whom had the energy of a bunch of teenagers and the musical skill of the pro’s before them” – Alex Smith – Director, Plain Jane Events
living the dream
The key to the band’s success is their ability to perform classic songs with boundless energy and enthusiasm, sculpting concert type sets on-the-fly completely dependent on LIVE and ongoing song selection whilst simultaneously coaxing ROCKSTAR performances out of whoever happens to jump on stage with them…!
This is an art honed over thousands of gigs, the basis of which is the band’s desire to make people feel like they’re “IN” the band, not just happening to be on stage with them.

rockaoke party testimonials
Rockaoke were amazing especially Kirsty for calming me down and assuring me that people would get up and sing. Thank you for the most incredible night.
Thanks so much to you guys for putting on a wicked night of entertainment. You guys are great party starters and entertainers, and would happily recommend and book you again. 🙂
The party was AMAZING… I have had so many comments about how awesome you guys were… it was exactly what I wanted! I loved seeing everyone enjoying themselves so much and the smiles on everyones faces were the best birthday present I could have asked for!
just wanted to say how much we enjoyed Saturday night!! it was better than we could have imagined and made our whole hen weekend!! will be recommending you guys to everyone!!!!!!
Wow, what a night! Just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge huge thank you. Everyone is raving about you all! The stage looked amazing and you’re such great musicians. Matt you were a fab MC and also so very helpful at the set-up stage. I knew it could be a great night, but you all made it one of our most memorable parties – ever! Thank you once again for making everyone’s night/week/year/decade….!
Thank you so much for last night, I see a lot of sore heads today so that is a sign of a good night.
The London Cocktail Club have had the pleasure of working together with the Rockaoke team for over a year. To quote Time Out they are one of “The best wtf experience in London!!”. There are few people who manage to create such an amazing rock n’roll atmosphere. Guests always leaving the bar shouting “See you next time!!” . They are amazing for business and a very talented, golden team who are all great to work with!
I have worked with Rockaoke for over 6 years now and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and energetic experience to suggest to their clients or for private parties, etc. They are always on hand and ready to come up with ideas that fit in with most themes but the fact that they can tweak their line-ups to fit in to most spaces (and budgets) make them a godsend.
I’ve used then numerous times over the years but great examples of how they have worked for events are when we used them for our Members Halloween night (Scaryaoke) – full band set up for 120 guests with Mat comparing and whipping the crowd in to a frenzy dressed as a well fed vampire. I’ve also used them really well in a stripped back format for clients like Google and Undercurrent, where they set up in a 2 piece acoustic style format for 35 guests (Acoustaoke). They have also worked well for weddings and once at a Barmitzvh (which was awesome!).
They are great guys, there is not a thing they cannot do and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any type of event. Except a funeral I suppose.
