A raucous, technicolour pop-parade-come-street-party; SMOOSH! is a rip-roaring wind and brass band performing pop-karaoke classics on the move.

Our biggest commission to date, SMOOSH! invites residents and visitors out onto their doorsteps to dance and sing along in magnificent, cacophonous, communal karaoke – a ‘massaoke’!

A core of Paraorchestra musicians are joined by dozens of local wind and brass players and an army of professional and local dancers to perform a track list of songs by artists such as Fatboy Slim, Kate Bush, Basement Jaxx, and Adele.

In Summer 2023, SMOOSH! is coming to the streets of London for four performances, swiftly followed by a performance in the Circus and Theatre field as Glastonbury Festival.

FRIDAY 23 JUNE

Plaistow, East London
Parade one – 15:30 from New City Primary school
Parade two – 17:30 from Jeyes Estate

Presented by Plaistow South Big Local and Culture Within Newham

No booking required – just turn up!
