Launch of the monthly 'You Sing, We Play' party series, where guests sing and the DJs play, at The Box in Fargo Village.
Grab the Mic launches at The Box on Sunday 15 November, from 7pm to 11pm. It's the first in a series of monthly parties, and the organisers have a clear tagline for it: 'You Sing, We Play. Your Monthly Excuse to Let Loose'. The whole thing is built around you taking the mic, and they've already thrown in a bit of a joke for the crowd, asking that you please don't request any Oasis.
The Box is inside Fargo Village, a fiercely independent creative hub in the heart of Coventry city centre. It's the kind of place that puts on everything from vegan markets and peace forums to cheese festivals and vintage home shows, and it works with local partners like Coventry University, Coventry City Council, Coventry Pride, Coventry BID and the Positive Youth Foundation. If you've spent any time around Fargo, you'll know it's a proper mix of things rather than one single scene, and this fits right into that.
Because it's the first of a monthly run, this is the night that sets the tone. The 'You Sing, We Play' side of things means you're not just watching a band on stage; you're the one stepping up, with the music provided for you. It's a karaoke-style setup, but with a live band backing you, so you get to be the singer without having to worry about the instruments. And since it's monthly, it's something that'll be coming back to the same spot.
