Karaoke
at your venue
In your own canteen, hall or at the office. Including equipment, repertoire and someone who makes sure the first singer gets up.
The first twenty minutes decide the evening
A karaoke night lives or dies by its start. If you put down a screen and lay out a microphone, in most groups nothing happens for twenty minutes. Everyone waits for someone else, and the longer that goes on, the harder it becomes to be the first.
That is why we bring someone along to steer the evening. They start with songs that a whole table joins in with at once, so nobody stands in front of the room alone. Once the first two songs are over, the sign-up list usually fills up by itself.
- Equipment, microphones and repertoire included

From group song to open list
Group songs first
The opening is two songs that a whole table sings together. Nobody is on their own, and the first step has been taken.
Duets
After that come songs for two or three people. Someone who would never have stood up alone joins in with a colleague beside them.
The open list
From about halfway, the room decides what is sung. We keep track of the order and alternate between the tables.
The closer
The last song is once again one for everyone. That way the evening ends with the whole group instead of the last two who still dared.
Also for those who weren't planning to sing
At karaoke, more of the group ends up singing than planned, and that is down to the format. Duets and group songs mean that someone who would never have stood up alone still holds a microphone, with three colleagues beside them for cover.
We also keep an eye on the order. Without someone doing that, the same enthusiastic singer hijacks the evening in every room and everyone else sits watching. By alternating the list, the tables that wouldn't put themselves forward get a turn too.
A karaoke night starts at €195. If it becomes part of a longer programme with several formats, it costs more.
What we need from you
For karaoke we need power, a corner of about three by three metres and a view of a screen from the tables. If a projector or television is already there, we connect to it. If not, we bring a screen ourselves.
Setting up takes half an hour. If a noise limit applies at your venue or neighbours are close by, let us know. In some buildings a silent disco with headphones is a better choice, and we would rather say so beforehand than afterwards.
We also want to know how many people are coming and what the age range is, because we build the repertoire around that.
Frequently asked questions
What if nobody dares to sing first?
That happens at almost every karaoke night, and our host is ready for it. We deliberately open with two group songs, where a whole table joins in at once and nobody stands alone in front of the room. Once that has happened, the sign-ups follow by themselves.
How large does the repertoire need to be?
The repertoire we bring runs from Dutch-language songs to English classics and more recent hits. The spread matters more than the size: with a group spanning three generations, we make sure every age group recognises something, because otherwise the same half of the room does all the singing.
How much space do you need for karaoke?
For karaoke, a corner of about three by three metres is enough, plus a view of the screen from the tables. A stage isn't needed and often works against you, because stepping onto it is a bigger step than singing from a spot on the floor.
