People stay longer
Nobody leaves while they're waiting for their song, or their mate's song. A karaoke crowd settles in for the night, not for one drink.
Weekly karaoke for pubs & clubs
Turn your quietest night into a full one.
A regular hosted karaoke night at your pub, tavern, RSL or bowls club gives people a reason to come in on the night they'd normally stay home. On a Friday or Saturday, it keeps your crowd in till close. Either way, once they're in, they stay.
Try it for four weeks at $395 a night. No lock-in. If your numbers don't go up, you walk away.
It brings people in, and keeps them there
Why a karaoke night works for your venue
A band plays to the room. Karaoke puts the room on stage. That's why it fills quiet nights and keeps busy ones going.
Singers bring a crowd
Every singer brings mates to cheer them on. One booking in the queue can mean a whole table at the bar.
It becomes their night
Same night, same hosts, every week. Regulars plan their songs, bring new people and make it part of their week.
It suits every age
Twenty somethings, couples and retirees all in the same room, all joining in. It's one of the few nights that works for everyone.
Less than a band
One flat fee, a small setup and volume that suits your room. No drum kit, no five-piece rider, no blasting out the bistro.
Content for your socials
Karaoke is one of the most shareable nights you can run. Your punters film it, post it and tag you, every single week.
Do the maths
How many extra people pay for the night?
Put in your own numbers. Everything stays on your screen, nothing is sent anywhere.
A rough guide only, using the numbers you enter. Your bar manager will know your real spend and margin.

Grit & Groove, wow what a great night, Aaron and Rilda are just wonderful hosts that go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.
Trina Newby
Had the best time and great music selection. So up to date and scan in, choose your song and know when you are up. It is so cool.
Alex Miliken
Rilda and Aaron are such great hosts and they have a system which can cater for the masses. One of the better systems I have encountered.

Questions venue managers ask
How much does a karaoke host cost for a pub in Brisbane?
Our regular nights are $450 for four hours, with both hosts, the sound system, mics, screens, setup and pack down included. New venues can start with a four week trial at $395 a night, with no lock-in. No GST.
Are karaoke nights good for business?
They can be, because karaoke keeps people in the venue for longer and singers bring their mates along. It depends on your crowd, so we start with a four week trial and measure it with your own numbers, like bar takings or people through the door.
How do I get more people into my pub on a quiet night?
Give people a reason to come out on that night and make it the same night every week. A regular karaoke night does both: regulars plan their songs, bring friends, and it becomes their night out. Promotion helps too, so we supply a poster, a Facebook event and a crowd clip from the first night.
What does it cost?
The first four nights are $395 each, with no lock-in. After that it's $450 for a four hour night. That covers both hosts, the full sound system, mics, screens, setup and pack down. No GST.
Why a four week trial?
One night tells you very little. A karaoke night takes a few weeks to catch on, as word gets around and the regulars start planning their songs. Four weeks gives it a fair go, and you're not locked in if it doesn't work for you.
How will we know if it's working?
Before the first night we agree on one number with you, like bar takings or people through the door on that night, and compare it with the average of the same night over the previous four weeks. We look at it together after week four.
What do our staff need to do?
Nothing. We arrive about 45 minutes early, set up, run the whole night and pack down. All we need is a power point and somewhere to set up.
Will it be too loud for the rest of the venue?
No. Aaron runs the sound through a proper mixing desk, so we set the volume to suit your room and keep it there. You tell us the limit and we stick to it.
Can you use our screens and PA?
Yes, if they're up to it. We can plug into your TVs or bring our own screen and speakers, whatever sounds and looks best in your room.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry $30 million public liability and we're happy to send the certificate to you before the first night.
What nights do you have free?
Give Aaron a call and we'll work it out. Plenty of venues start with their quietest night, but karaoke is just as good on a Friday or Saturday. We can do weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
