I predict a riot as Organoke returns to St Giles for two nights of joyous singing on Sat 11th and Sunday 12th May 2024

ORGANOKE is Karaoke...but not as you know it. It's a crazy, joyful night of communal singing with a live band and the most unlikely of instruments: the mighty church organ. All hosted by Ida Barr (AKA Kit Green). Ida is the first and possibly only Artificial Hip Hop star who has thrilled listeners globally from dope cribs via Udderbelly to residential care homes, the Speigeltent and Brighton Fringe, stopping off at the Southbank for a bit of bingo.

So what are you waiting for? You wannabe having a chat to Jolene, sk8er boi and the rest of you mates and book tickets for the most joyous night in SE London.

Hey - why not take your mama out?

It is going to be crazy...just like the summer of '69

Cant sing? No problem - Sing en mass in the first half so everyone else will drown you out! Wont sing? You are guaranteed to be by the end of the night. Desperate to sing solo? Decide what you want to perform and youll have a chance to take centre stage in the second half...only if the Tombola is kind to you!

Organoke is a bonkers idea that was created over a pint as a way to raise awareness and funds for the restoration of the Organ at St Giles. It first premiered at the Camberwell Arts Festival 2016 and before the end of the first song, the congregation was dancing in the aisles.

Profits from Organoke help raise money to restore the organ. Anyone who is a member of the Friends of St Giles gets priority booking for Organoke, with secret access to our booking site before everyone else.

Members also get free tickets to other events and a free drink at the bar.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
