In my drinking days it was'The Black Velvet Band', every time. All the way through without there even having to be karaoke.

Looks like I might see some of you on Krapaoke night :-D

I was doing a PRS job in a pub with karaoke.

All the usual smart young things stepped up and sang flat and awful and then the scruffy looking regular drinker did a note perfect, lovely, tuneful version of Amore (the Dean Martin one ).

Then he shuffled off back to the bar with his roll-up.

Our class at High School won the singing competition, I stood in the middle at the back and mimed... at practice I would throw in the odd few words and the others around me would think it was very funny.

But my youngest sang in the Madrigal choir at school and the eldest has won prizes on Karaoke nights when she was in her partying years before parenting.

Poor love Ann :-D :-D

I worked at Whitchurch Hospital for nigh on thirty years and occasionally we'd put a show on for the patients - one year we had the script for Aladdin - I was Aladdin and had to sing "Bachelor Boy" Well I was so nervous I took a bottle of sherry with me - don't drink normally - and kept taking swigs out of it before going on stage -must have downed half the bottle when I realised my lips felt like rubber - one of my colleagues walked me around the corridors and gave me a Fisherman's Friend to suck!!! Eventually it was my turn to sing - the organist said he'd give me a nod so I'd know where to come in - missed the nod the first two times and then got it - what was so shaming was the patients in wheelchairs at the front of the audience were asking nurses to take them back to the wards :-D :-D :-D

I was so proud of Stray

when she sang the Snowman song in our town hall :-D :-D

My voice is flat as a I pancake, it's sounds appalling, like scratching down a blackboard. But I have sung at a karaoke, people bought me drink to stop! My favourite is 'House of the Rising Sun'. My rendition is almost completely awful. It's better (or worse) after many pints.

Andy

:-D :-D :-D

it's miserable, isn't it, Joy :-(

I know the feeling Sylvia :-( :-(

I was kicked out of the 3 class choir in Junior school :-(


Age 7,

the teacher went along the lines listening to each of us sing .............

"you .......... out!"

about 6 of us had to go into one of the empty classrooms and be otherwise occupied during "choir time"


talk about giving a child a complex!

;-) ;-)

believe it Joy :-D :-D :-D :-D

I don't believe Ann in Cardiff cant sing
I lived in Cardiff in 1975
and have never met a welsh person who could not sing
We used to go to the Westgate Pub and by 9pm every song bird was singing :-D :-D

Also on a Saturday where ever you shopped in Cardiff

You could hear the Rugby supporters singing their support for their team :-D :-D

Ann C that reminds me of something Mum said when I was a little girl. She was telling me about her school in Worthing Sussex.

She said there was a Welsh girl who talked in a funny accent and couldn't sing a note.

This would have been in the late fifties/early sixties when anyone outside of Sussex was a "foreigner" and stereotypes were "facts" :-D :-D

Yes kitty, :-| bet his opinion would change if i asked on pocket money day lol

I'd be the kiss of death to any choir :-D :-D so not all people from Wales can sing

on the other hand, my lovely OH was in arguably the top Welsh choir for years and had a great voice :-D

I've been to a karaoke bar, many moons ago.

It was great fun to watch the others in our group

I did NOT sing :-)
