OMG KARAOKE!

14th October 2015

Hey all,

So some news! You may remember that last year we had a karaoke night at Fantasycon. You may even remember that we had one way back in 2010 at the metal club around the corner. A great time was had by all both times, and last year Mr. Lee Harris asked us to do it again!

Twice is a coincidence and three times is a tradition, so here’s to Abaddon’s third traditional Fantasycon Karaoke night!

This year it’ll be at 8pm on the Friday night in the main bar in the Atrium, until they stop us (I think 11pm). Your MCs for the night will be Mr. Rob Power and Mr. David Moore, and we will be cueing up your song requests and incidentally maybe shredding the goddam mic once or twice ourselves.*

It’s also part of our ongoing tenth birthday celebrations, so we’ll have some balloons up, we’ll be honouring Mr. Jon Oliver’s ten years in genre publishing, we may even bring cake.**

But if you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook, you already knew this. I’m posting today not just to whet the appetite, but with these two bits of extraspecial karaokeliciousness:

SONG LISTS

Yes, you heard me, goddammit. Here are the song lists! Now you can look through the selections in advance, and choose your song at leisure (please no bookings in advance, though; just you come along and book your songs on the night like everyone else).
