Forget Pop Idol – this is Pop Idle – a chance for all those lazy popstars singing into hairbrushes to flaunt their secret rock n’ roll alter-ego in front of a live band and a live crowd! Whether you’ve got the X-Factor or just ex-factor, you’ll have the time of your life on stage with your own band and singers backing you.
It’s Live Band Karaoke! The name says it all. Karaoke with a Live Band. They also provide a disco and a regular covers set if required.
Forget those cheesy backing tracks and a bouncing ball on a tv screen – this professional band will provide all the backing, just like the original song – all it’s lacking is your voice! Combining the great fun of karaoke with the energy & enthusiasm of a professional live band.
The Pop Idle band can perform a few numbers to warm up the atmosphere, then it’s time for you to strut your stuff. Or perhaps you’d like whole set of the band & then a set of live karaoke. The choice is yours.
Croon a ballad by Leanne Rhymes, belt a Bon Jovi anthem, funk it up with a James Brown number or play the cheeky chappy ala Robbie Williams – they’ll provide the lyrics and hollers of encouragement to perform your choosen song.
All you need is a set of lungs, and a sense of fun & they guarantee your fans will go wild!
Pop Idle comes complete with a full professional PA, lighting & a 5-10-piece band. Choose whether you want 1 or 2 backing singers and the horn players for the real red carpet performance. Add on a percussionist and extra horns & singers. Make it as Wembley Stadium as you like!
The Pop Idle team will provide disco music for the breaks and to warm up/end your night. They’ll make yours an event to remember not just with a fantastic live band, but with the ultimate audience participation!
The Pop Idle band have been performing around the UK at weddings, parties, corporate events, team-building days, receptions, launches of bars & restaurant chains and abroad for the Hilton & Sheraton Hotel Groups.
Client Comments
I’ve never had such an amazing evening. The band sounded amazing & were brilliantly good fun. Thanks for the best night’s entertainment
– Andy Smith, British Airways
Thank you very much for supplying the Karaoke/Bandoke band, they first performed and got everyone on their feet dancing, we then had our staff sing hits from the 80s right up to some recent hits. Finally our CEO and Directors sang Dancing Queen with the whole party in vocal unison, it was magical. The band amazingly made everyone sound great and the lead vocalist was so patient on each song guiding those unsure along. Our staff can’t wait to do it again. We will definitely come back to you for our Christmas Entertainment in 2009
Best Regards
Helen
