The stakes were high, the road was long, but apart from having a few sore vocal cords, our team survived the grueling Charioke challenge!

After ten hours of non-stop singing in a karaoke booth on 2nd November, the Sing Up and Youth Music team has so far raised £1,000 for UK music charity Youth Music. But, we still need your help! Please visit our charity page and pledge your donations.

The team sang a whole range of songs and requests throughout the day; from George Michael to Steely Dan, from Jumping Jack flash to Mr Boombastic. They even went home with the award for best performance in the Urban/Rap category for a fresh and wholeheartedly obscure version of Eminem’s Stan !

Celi, one of the ringleaders for the team, was really pleased with their achievement. ‘I absolutely loved it - what an amazing day! I never thought I’d get away with singing Metallica in the style of an Opera Diva, but here I could! It’s been a great team performance by both us and the generous people that have donated to Youth Music. Way to go, team!’
