Live out your superstar fantasy at brand-new Jesmond event

A brand new female-led events company based in the North East have announced that they will be bringing a unique singing event to Jesmond this week.

Marisiam Events, which was founded by two Newcastle University graduates, Maria Winter and Sam Harris, created their events business to create “a more transparent, inclusive and diverse creative industry”.

The newly-founded events company hosts various interactive events with a music focus, such as a live music quiz night named Late ‘n’ Live, where a live band performs the questions. They also host a local live music showcase, which is named Platform 22.

Their newest event, which will be held at As You Like It in Jesmond on Thursday, July 20 will let participants live out their superstar fantasies, as they belt out karaoke hits, with the live band instead of a usual karaoke backing track.

The event, which is named Late ‘n’ Live: Karaoke, will allow participants to take to the stage and front a live band to perform a Karaoke classic to the audience.

The Late ‘n’ Live band accompanying the Karaoke event, will be made up of the band who perform at the regular quiz nights, consisting of Newcastle based musicians.

The unique Karaoke experience will begin at 7pm, with tickets available to purchase for £9.50 for audience members and £12 for those who wish to perform.

When purchasing a performer ticket, a list of songs to choose from will be made available to select. Those who purchase audience tickets but decide they would like to sing on the night can purchase a performer ticket on the night. Group performances are also available, for a maximum of four people on stage.

The event is for people aged 18 years old and above.
