KARAOKE Three Ways!!

Entertainment is always high on our regular activities and we aim to provide the best possible in each category, there are some weeks that we serve Karaoke done three ways, the first on a Thursday is our hugely successful £50 cash prize competition, on Fridays we host Pamela’s Big Mad Karaoke/Disco party and on regular Saturdays, in between Live Comedy and Bands we have the technical wizardry Karaoke from Chris and his interactive video displays. Three nights of Karaoke, you say? There are three very different approaches on three very different nights but the same fantastic entertainment for our Paisley Pals.

Joke Box Comedy

Saturday September the 4^th sees the return of the Joke Box with some star comedy acts fresh from the Edinburgh Festival being attracted by filthy lucre and even filthier audience members to Hamishes’. Graham Mackie leads off the comedy revival at Hamishes with Gary Little and Chris Forbes lending great support. The JB will be on the first Saturday of each month, remember to visit the website to find out more. www.hamisheshoose.co.uk . Tickets are the usual £5 which can be bought from behind the bar or on the door that night.

Live Music

Republic of Soul

Republic of Soul has been slotted in for Saturday the 25^th September at 9pm. I don’t know if you have heard of these guys but they are one of the best live acts I have ever seen, their tag line of Hand Clappin, Foot Stompin, Funky Butt Live is an indication of how the night will go. An excellent Blues Bros and Commitments style set sees all the favourite songs being played, audience participation on the ‘doo wops’ is encouraged by the boys and there are often more women singing along with them than I have had hot dinners. Who said ‘and that’s more than a few’?

Karaoke

Pamela hosts the Big, Mad, Disco/Karaoke Party on Friday nights from 9pm till 1am, Lady Ga Ga makes a regular appearance as does Elvis and Amy Whitehouse. Pamela does a mean 'Its So Quiet' by Bjork, this in itself is worth coming in for and if you don't see your favourite singer you can have a go yourself at being Jim Croce or Joe Dolce ('Ah Shaddapa yer Face'). Either way a great night of fun and frolics, songs and bollix.

On Saturday we have a different approach as Chris Lawler takes to the stage, the emphasis on both nights is fun and singing. Chris adds a digital side to the participatory spectacle with your image on the Big Screen as you belt out the one hit that every one knows 'I will Survive'. You can just see it, arms in the air singing and dancing like you don't care, urging your pals to sing along, ah the thought of it just brings me to tears. All this entertainment and all for free, well the price of a couple of drinks.
