Yes, 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?

Four reasons why I love the lads and lasses at Sing Up:
1) They are all about getting small people into singing mode as early as possible in their school lives (thus nurturing a whole new generation of karaokers – They really do believe that children are the charioke future)

There’s a certain danger attached to being too friendly with people that work for charities. A danger that’s not quite of the magnitude of being too friendly with undercover CIA agents or people that rob banks, but a clear and present danger all the same.

Lucky Voice sends out an email newsletter to the 30,000 karaoke evangelists on their database. The newsletter goes out at 16.32. By 16.39 I have ten emails saying ‘Charioke?! Who? How? Where? Can I come?’

The past few days have been a flurry of emails. Emails to charities. Emails to businesses. Emails to our supporters. Emails to Lucky Voice. Emails to friends. Emails to relatives. Emails to people I pass on the street. Emails to potential singer-fundraisers. Emails to myself.

For a karaoke addict, an invitation to meet the team at the Lucky Voice HQ is a bit like being invited for tea with Queen. Awe-inspiring but terrifying in equal measure.

So, with inspiration ringing in my ears, I hastily scribbled down the formula:
Karaoke + Lucky Voice + charities like Refugee Action + singers + sponsorship + singathon = charioke marathon
Eureka!

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and karaoke together, shoulder to shoulder.
I have a dream that one day in the streets of our great metropoles, people from all walks of life will unite under the colourful flag of karaoke.

There is an ancient Zen master saying in Refugee Action’s Fundraising and Communications Team that sayeth, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get karaoke’.
