Rockaoke

Rockaoke is back at Soundcheck Bar on Thursday 12 November, and it's a night that doesn't ask you to just listen. The whole point is that you get up and sing along with the crowd, rather than watching a band from your seat. It's a group sing-along, so if you've got a favourite song you've spent years belting out in the car or the shower, this is the place to actually do it in front of people.

It's not a solo karaoke night where you're left on your own up front; it's a collective thing, with the room singing together. The venue describes it as a night where punters get their inner 'Rock God' out by belting out their favourite songs and wowing the crowd. Whether you can actually sing or you're just there for the noise, you're part of the performance rather than just an audience member.

If you're not feeling the spotlight, you can still come along and sing from where you're standing. The whole thing is built around the room joining in, so it works just as well if you're happy to stay in the mix. It's less about a polished performance and more about a room full of people singing the same songs at once.

Soundcheck Bar is at 40 Marine Parade, BN11 3QA, in Worthing. This isn't a one-off, either — Rockaoke runs every Thursday, so if you miss this one, there's another the following week. It runs from 8:00pm to 11:00pm, and entry is free.
