Swingaoke for Guy Garvey’s Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre, London.

So this June we were lucky enough to be requested by Guy Garvey to perform our live band Karaoke show at the Southbank Centre in London as part of the Meltdown festival which Guy was curating this year.  What an amazing night!  This was kicked off by Guy himself and then opened up to the amazingly talented Southbank audience.  No rehearsal, just pure talent, and there was plenty of that around.  What an amazing night.
