Lucky Voice’s emergency Twittering saves us again.
The vivacious lot at Scene and Heard take the spare Islington room. Once again, the thesps are saving charioke’s bacon once again.

The Secret Diary of a Karaoke Addict Aged 31 and 3/4: I would walk five hundred miles
Monday, October 26th, 2009Now that’s what I call dedication. Unfazed by the fact that Islington Charioke is full to the rafters, the WAC Performing Arts & Media College gallantly decide to take a road trip to Brighton on the 9th instead.
See, Brightonians, some people will travel to the end of the M23 just for a spot of charioke. Loving that show must go on mentality. Can’t wait to see the tour bus to roll into town, film crew, jazz hands and groupies in tow.

The Secret Diary of a Karaoke Addict Aged 31 and 3/4: One love
Sunday, October 25th, 2009When the concept of the charioke marathon first swept over us, we were originally desperate to do it during Refugee Week. Not just because we had a masochistic urge to raise our stress levels even higher with yet another event to organise, but because ‘sharing a song’ is one of the Simple Acts being promoted as part of Refugee Week’s latest campaign.

The Secret Diary of a Karaoke Addict Aged 31 and 3/4: We are the world, we are the people
Monday, October 19th, 2009Given that we’re not by definition an arts charity, or a singing charity, or a music charity like some of the charity friends we know and love, Refugee Action surprisingly does have more than a touch of Fame Academy about it.

Hasty deportation of Iraqis results in failure
Friday, October 16th, 2009The government has led 44 Iraqi asylum seekers on a not-so-merry dance, flying them back home, only to bring most of them back to the UK today. The asylum seekers had their cases rejected by the Home Office, despite the obvious danger to civilians living in Iraq.

The Secret Diary of a Karaoke Addict Aged 31 and 3/4: The Birdie Song
Friday, October 16th, 2009Yes, yes, the much-vaunted power of Twitter. Blahblah,##whateva.
Or so I used to think a few days’ ago, unreconstructed technophobe that I was. I just didn’t get why people would want to be updated about other people’s minute-by-minute brain vomit. Surely your random musings are best kept to yourself? Best to retain a bit of mystery, no?
