Karaoke is a divisive artform. In fact, even calling an “artform” is divisive in itself. For most people it’s a fun thing to do with friends, and for that reason it is hugely popular around the world.

Inspired by Chris’ recent birthday night out that ended in a karaoke booth, we thought we’d do something FUN and explore the history of karaoke. In part one we talk about how it began, its success and reveal the staggering scale of this multi-billion dollar a year industry.

We also hear from a few of our regular contributors and past guests as they give us their opinions on karaoke and tell us what their go to songs are. We hope you enjoy this episode!

TWO THING: One, the Xmas Vinyl Hamper has now been joined by a digital variant, which is great for people who live outside of the UK.
