Since
2010 the Annual General Karaoke has attracted the brightest and best
artists from across Scotland and beyond, all devising, directing and
editing their own karaoke videos, which are then performed on the
night for an array of glittering prizes. It’s a karaoke night where
the videos are made especially for the event. It’s a karaoke video
competition! We’re delighted to announce that this year the AGK
will be part of the 2013 NEoN festival. Past AGKs have included
dancing milk cartons, fake blood, stripping, screaming, floor
rolling, drinking, smashed keyboards, women with moustaches,
skeletons and of course some lovely singing too!
Who
are Yuck ’n Yum? We are a not for profit constituted group with a
history in art zines and hosting events. We promote and distribute
art outside the gallery setting.
For
the last few months tremendously talented videomakers from all over
Scotland and further afield have been sweating over their AGK videos.
The deadline is fast approaching, and on November 9th
we hope to deliver the best AGK yet… but we need your help.
Despite
tremendous support from our volunteers NEoN and the HMC, pulling off
our amazing AGK nights is always an expensive enterprise. PA hire,
documentation, screen building, prizes, printing and technical
equipment all adds up.
If
you enjoy or have enjoyed any of our free events, including the last
three AGKs or free zines over the last few years, and think “I can
spare £5 to help these guys improve upon the already amazing AGK”
then please do. Anything you can afford would be brilliant. Don’t
underestimate that help, it would be tremendous! If we can find two
hundred people who are willing to give us £5 then we are well on our
way.
If
you can’t give us anything then please just share this page with
your friends and family and please please spread the word. And don't
forget to 'like' our Yuck ‘n Yum Facebook page.
This
year’s AGK promises more karaoke videos made especially for the
event, and more moving, unique and downright strange performances!
For those who have not made a karaoke video and are too shy to sing,
this is your chance to be part of one of the most talked about events
in Dundee’s creative calendar.
