Mencap is inviting Hackney citizens, local disability groups, as well as fans of Olly Murs, Lawson and Loveable Rogues (indeed anyone who fancies it!) to come and join in the fun at their first-ever Little Noise Sessions KaraUke Flashmob. And, what is more, it’s totally free!
Ahead of their Mencap Little Noise Sessions gig, supporting Olly Murs on Tuesday 20 November, Britain’s Got Talent trio, Eddie, Sonny and Te, otherwise known as Loveable Rogues, will take to the streets of Hackney to busk a few of their ‘fun and organic’ pop songs as part of an unforgettable KaraUke Flashmob sing-a-long.
Event: KaraUke Flashmob
Date: Tuesday 20 November
Location: St John-at-Hackney Church (front entrance steps)
Time: 4.45pm-5.15pm
Twitter handle: @little_noise and @mencap_charity
Twitter hashtag: #LNSmob
London-based group KaraUke will warm up the crowd with their quirky ukulele interpretations of pop hits by the likes of One Direction and Carly Rae Jepson, followed by a short busking set by Loveable Rogues.
Loveable Rogues said: "We're really excited to be busking in Hackney. It'll be a fantastic warm-up to our Little Noise Sessions gig with Olly Murs. The flashmob is all about raising awareness for learning disability charity Mencap, a brilliant cause, so please tell all your friends to come down and join in the fun. We want the biggest, noisiest crowd possible, so bring your best singing voices – and a ukulele, if you have one!"
Mencap will be giving away exclusive information about the KaraUke Flashmob on Twitter over the next few days, so be sure to follow @little_noise and @mencap_charity and look for the hashtag: #LNSmob.
