What Is Bandeoke?
Bandeoke (sometimes called Rockeoke) is just like Karaoke, except it’s with a live band! If you’re a big fan of taking centre stage and serenading everyone in the room then you’ll love it. The whole experience is completely unique and unforgettable for both the person singing and the crowd, and will definitely become the talking point of your party.
Where Can I Find A Bandeoke Band?
Here at Entertainment Nation you can find some of the best bandeoke bands in the UK. Depending on what you’re looking for, some are true bandeoke bands and others are bands that offer a bandeoke service on top of their regular performance.

What Makes A Good Bandeoke Band?
Performing in a Bandeoke band needs a different skillset to that of a regular band. The bands come in all shapes and sizes but a great Bandeoke band will possess the following:
- A huge repertoire – Although people will generally be excited to have a go at singing any song available, the more songs the better! A band will never be able to compete with the number of songs available in your average karaoke session, but they should have a great selection!
- A versatile style – It’s important to be just as adept at performing pop party songs as it is rock classics and soul hits when you have people requesting everything under the sun. These musicians are true professionals and will adapt instantly from song to song.
- The ability to go with the flow – If you frequently lose your place/forget the song/collapse into fits of giggles when performing in front of a crowd – never fear! A bandeoke band will help you out and get you back on track by coming in with harmonies and encouragement. No-one will notice…
Do I Need To Know All The Words?
Sometimes. With a true bandeoke band, just like with karaoke, the words will be displayed on a screen in front of you, so you can shine like the star you are! Other bands will provide a bandeoke service but don’t come with all the bells and whistles to accompany it, so you’re welcome to get up on stage and join in, but you’ll need to know the words – or have your phone handy! Check when you book that your chosen band offers the service you’re looking for!
How Do People Request Songs?
When the band arrive, they’ll normally distribute sheets outlining their repertoire and people can fill them in like they do at normal karaoke. Once it’s time for you to perform the band will announce you on stage and you’re up! Have fun!
Will the band perform as a regular band?
Of course! No-one wants to be first up on stage so the band will always warm up the crowd with a set of their own. Then it’s the turn of all the budding performers in the crowd!
