About
Paraorchestra brings a high-energy wind and brass band and a troupe of dancers to the streets of Bradford for a rip-roaring music parade of kaleidoscopic pop-karaoke classics – think Fatboy Slim meets Kate Bush meets Basement Jaxx.
You're invited to dance and sing along in a magnificent, cacophonous, communal karaoke – a ‘massaoke’!
SMOOSH! is free, inclusive, and family-friendly. No booking required – just turn up and get involved!
