Quiz Tarrent at Lucky Voice

The more observant amongst you may have noticed I enjoy a good night out drinking with the girls, and its far from uncommon for me to over indulge. Last night at Lucky Voice on Upper Street, Angel, was no different.

The bar is lovely and stylish, but the prices were great! A bottle of beer was just £3.95! As a Northerner that figure looks painful for a bottle of beer, but as a resident of the capital for over 3 years it is music to my ears!

Get there for 7.45 on a Thursday night for a music quiz, £2 per player, and take advantage of the free karaoke booth after the quiz. Its also worth booking a table in advance as it can get a little cosy. 

Obviously with any pub quiz the most important question is "what shall we call our team?". We went with Quiz Tarrent. Get it? Like Chris Tarrent? Never mind, I thought it was hilarious.
The quiz is totally music related, think name the artist style questions and current music news. Some of the questions are a little tricky so brush up on your music knowledge before heading down. They also have some "get involved" rounds, like who can hoola hoop for the longest - winners get points for their team!

The quiz is a lot of good fun, but the real magic comes after the quiz has finished. With any luck you are all nice and merry by now, and you'll need to be, as you are taken around to one of the private karaoke rooms for you and your friends. Playing the quiz gets you 2 hours of karaoke free! It was a hard hitting moment for me when I realised I wouldn't be a winner on The X Factor any time soon, but we had a lot of fun choosing songs, playing with different sound effects for the mic and using the inflatable guitar.

Unfortunately, when I got up for work the following morning I stumbled late into the office I was feeling less than fresh, and a little embarrassed to say the least. But good fun was had all round!
