"We went and tried a new idea for Christmas parties called Ding Dong Sing-a-Long which is becoming a huge success across the capital. It's like karaoke except you all sing together and don't feel quite so silly." Richard Midson, presenter.

The Metro newspaper
"The Ding Dong Sing-a-Long is the cult hit of this year's office Christmas circuit. Part karaoke, part terrace-belter, it's accompanied by singing coach Helen Astrid of The Helen Astrid Singing Academy on the keyboard with vocal flourishes to encourage punters in a crowd-responsive sing-a-long.

It's gospel with liquor licence and a mischievous musical ringleader (i.e. Helen). Not only is it a physical release with these endorphins rushing madly about, but it's a great social leveller. Tensions build in the office throughout the year and this provides a safe and fun place to get up on stage, show your true colours and let off steam without character-assassinating your boss or picking up your P45 on Monday morning!

'This is a much better method of networking and communicating' says Astrid - whose clients are resoundingly professional males, overwhelmingly bankers. 'It gives people the chance to show there's more beyond the stuffed suit' ".
