Karaoke night is proof that you’re never too old to take the microphone, and ours is a cheerful, come-as-you-are affair. Whether you’re a natural performer or strictly a shower singer, the welcome is just as warm.

The songbook has a little of everything — the old standards, a bit of country, some good rock and roll, and plenty of tunes you’ll remember fondly from the first time around. Pick a favourite, take hold of the mic, and let the whole room sing along with you.

And here’s the secret: nobody’s keeping score. The applause is generous, a wrong note or two is happily forgiven, and the duets are half the fun. Even the folks who swear they’ll “just watch” usually find themselves singing along before the night is through.

Come for a song, or come to cheer the others on — either way you’re in for a good evening. All voices welcome, and no talent required.
