Events » Live Music » Songs of Praise Rock and Roll Karaoke

So much as we have loved our Sunday night slot; we were growing frustrated with having to kick everyone out at the height of the party, due to Sunday licensing laws. And anyway after half a decade it's time for a change, and Wednesdays need to learn how to rock again.

Songs of Praise started in 2005 as a way to inject some fun into a club culture that was becoming increasingly dull and uptight, two fingers if you will to those who were taking themselves a little too seriously.

Rock + Roll, Punk, alternative Karaoke with DJ Montane wrecking the gaff in-between performances, a simple and somewhat daft plan. All we knew was that we needed somewhere loud to get nuts on Sunday night, and The Village was silly enough to offer us the ideal space to do exactly that.

What happened next was remarkable, joyous and a touch unnerving. Who would have bet that five years on, not only would we still be packing in the lunatics weekly, we would also have taken Songs of Praise on the road for a series of tours, hosted stages at the Trinity Ball and the Oxegen Festival, not to mention put on some pretty special private parties.

Your Hosts, Brothers Declan & Dave.
