Your hosts

Meet Aaron & Rilda

We're a husband and wife team from Sandgate. When you book Grit & Groove, you get the two of us on the night, every time.

A jukebox in the corner isn't a karaoke night. A good host is. We get people up, keep the songs rolling, look after the nervous first timers and make sure every singer has the room behind them.

AaronHost and sound. Gets the mix right so every voice sits well over the track.
RildaHost and singer. Loves getting the crowd involved and helping people sing.
