OUR STORY

ORGANOKE started south of the river in St. Giles’ Church, Camberwell in 2016. 

Whilst discussing ways to raise awareness and money for the restoration of the 1844 organ designed by Samuel Sebastian Wesley, and built by Bishop & Son Organ Builders, Jordana Leighton, Tom Leighton and Ashley Valentine, thought it would be fun to organise an evening of Karaoke with the mighty organ. They added a 5 piece band, a screen and the best MC in town (Ida Barr), and thus ORGANOKE was born!

Almost impossible to describe, it is “a bit like the end of a wedding reception with the boring bits taken out “ and is an absolutely, euphorically joyful experience.

Our crazy show has performed over 20 times at our spiritual home of St Giles as well as Battersea Arts Centre and the Brighton Dome. Profits raised contribute towards the fundraising and awareness our organ restoration project at St Giles’.

If you are a venue with a capacity over 400 and fully working organ get in touch! Lets get this show on the road! hello@organoke.com.

WHAT IS ORGANOKE?

ORGANOKE is Karaoke...but not as you know it. It is a crazy show centred around joyful communal singing in with the much underused and overlooked instrument …The Mighty Organ.

Come sing your heart out to Karaoke Classics with the star of the show: THE ORGAN and a full live band, with the inimitable Ida Barr: A rapping pensioner in all her faded Edwardian grandeur will get you on your feet singing like you’re Freddie Mercury on tour, as we turn the organ up to 11 for a joyous night of en-masse singing of your favourite classic “choons”!

1ST HALF - We curate the 1st half with a mass communal sing-song to the best bangers you never heard on an organ!

2ND HALF - You can be the star of the show, if the Tombola of Dreams chooses you!

Can’t sing? No problem - everyone else will drown you out! Won’t sing? We guarantee you will be by the end of the night. Desperate to sing solo? You’ll have a chance to take centre stage and channel your inner Mariah…if you want to!

We have no idea what will happen on the night…the show is in your hands…but we can guarantee you will leave on a euphoric-like high you’ve never known before.

Suitable for all ages, all singers, and, most importantly, all fun-loving party people!
