Thursday Basement Karaoke Night

A karaoke night at Hoxton Cabin on Kingsland Road in London, where guests choose a song from pop, rock or more lighthearted favourites and sing it into the microphone.

Thursday Basement Karaoke Night is a karaoke session held in the basement of Hoxton Cabin, a venue at 132 Kingsland Road in London that also hosts concerts, theatre performances and other evening events. Guests pick a song and take the microphone in turn, with the material mentioning pop hits, rock anthems and guilty pleasures among the choices.

The format is open to confident singers as well as those who simply want to join in for fun. Between songs the room is social, and the session is presented as a relaxed setting in which nobody is judged for their choice or their voice. Entry is restricted to adults.

The outing suits groups of friends who want a sociable night out, bringing their own enthusiasm for singing along. It is a participatory evening rather than a staged show, so the appeal lies in taking part and sharing the microphone with others.
