I am nothing more than a decidedly ordinary singer at best, but I'm a stupendous (some might even say professional) show off and attention seeker. The loss of karaoke has been one of the most painful things about Covid for me. I look forward to the day when we can freely share a mic. I have been known to take the mic on the odd occasion. I can hold a tune, I know what I can sing and know what I can't, that's the karaoke "rule", don't try to sing a song you like but is outwith your range. The Moonlight bar in Tenerife is a cracking karaoke bar, they take it pretty seriously, and the majority who take to the stage are decent or better. We have quite a few karaoke evenings here in the house when we can/could have family and friends over. Best to keep practicing, sometime this year karaoke will be back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That bar sounds like the upstairs karaoke at the Horseshoe. It’s like a cabaret up there. I’m usually too feart to get up in there. Agree the “know your limits” rule is fundamental to not makin an erse of yourself. When I’ve been up for home games there’s been karaoke in the Bull a few times which has been fun. Another good karaoke bar is Camps Bar in Wick. Belted out many a tune in there and it’s one where you can try new songs coz naebody gives a f**k if you’re shite 🤣 Witnessed this forum’s very own Jimmy H do a surprisingly brilliant rendition of Down in the Tube Station at Midnight in there and that is not an easy song tae sing. He is an auld ageing Mod mind you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, there's a lot of words squeezed into that song, well done @Jimmy H I have never sung in a karaoke bar and never will. This is to save me from making a fool of myself and not spoiling other peoples' evening. However, about 25 years ago I was in Raleigh , North Carolina for business and we went into the hotel bar as we did every evening after being out for a meal. One evening when we went in we realised we were the only white folk in there. There was an amazing karaoke event going on with lots of soul and R&B songs. We were told that it was a place where singers hoped to be spotted for a professional gig. We had a great night and we were a bit of a curiosity - 3 white guys from Scotland! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bud the Baker 9,007 Report post Posted January 8 (edited) My sciency days are long ago and worlds apart (Small FacesTM ) but can anyone point me to established info regarding whether people who've had the rona really need a vaccine, I've read all sortsa shit about how long immunity after contracting the virus actually protects you and yesterday Matt "Health Secretary" Hancock was saying people might need to be vaccinated every six months Thanks...

faraway saint 32,001 Report post Posted January 10 Seen something doing the rounds asking when you get offered the vaccine would you take it. Didn't feel like starting another thread so, would you and if so why, or if you wouldn't why? It's an easy yes for me, anything that get's us back to life before last March is a must for me. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at the moment. Happy to turn it down for now but will be happy to get it oerhaps 6 months down the line.

Hoping the Vaccination allows earlier travel. Looks like the earliest Australia will allow holidaymakers that have been vaccinated is July but more likely October. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
