Gerhard and Martin teamed up for a karaoke duet.

Geoff Dellow, Maestro of the karaoke equipment, has a turn at the microphone.

KARAOKE, according to Google, is “a form of entertainment, offered typically by bars and clubs, in which people take turns to sing popular songs into a microphone over pre-recorded backing tracks.”

A big fan of karaoke, Pieter often participates in karaoke evenings at Ella Mera.

Ella Mera in Vryheid is one such bar, where patrons can, on occasion, provide their own entertainment for the evening, by belting out some of their favourite popular songs behind a microphone.

Mother and daughter team, Clair and Stella, got into the karaoke spirit.

Saturday night was one such occasion and fans of the popular pastime showed up in support of those brave enough to stand up in front of pals and peers to showcase their musical prowess, or something similar.
