Songs of Praise karaoke goes on the move

The Dublin rock ‘n’ roll karaoke night, Songs of Praise, is going on the move with a student karaoke competition.

The top prize is a Gibson electric guitar worth over €2,000, while each of the seven heat winners will get an Xbox 360 console, Guitar Hero III, and other games, worth over €1,000.

The amateurs will get rest with Phantom FM’s DJ Sinead NiMhordha playing in-between.

The Songs of Praise, a regular on Sundays at the Village, the Irish Times named it “Dublin's most successful and only credible Karaoke”, while the Guardian said “now firmly established as the city's place to go on the Lord's Day”.

Total Blur?

 Alex James has again raised hopes Blur are to reform fully, insisti ng the full crew (including Graham Coxon) will be in the studio this summer.
The bassist says they want to give it one last try together - and if the reunion doesn't work out they will call it quits.
Alex, the self-confessed "second drunkest member of the drunkest band in Britain" is publishing his autobiography, 'Bit Of A Blur', later this year.
