Hello! We are Ashford-Smith Karaoke, otherwise known as A.S.Karaoke.
We are a Mobile Karaoke Service, based in Sittingbourne, hosting for all ages & various types of events within the whole of the Kentish area.
However, we are more than your typical Karaoke box. We provide a full live set-up, as so to give you the full Live Act/Rockstar Experience!
We host your event for you as KJ's (Karaoke Jockey's), managing the queue and various settings for your guests/patrons, along with the following:
High quality equipment for an authentic live sound.
An online catalogue of over 70,000+ songs across various genres.
Various forms of RGB Lighting, including cluster lights, laser lights, and more!*
Toys/Props (Guitars, Trumpets, Saxophones, etc).*
If the queue goes quiet at all, we can fill in these gaps by singing ourselves.*
A pre-generated or custom playlist of songs to play between Karaoke tracks**
If your guests are nervous to sing on their own, we are more than happy to join them, upon their request.
* These features are optional.
** Please understand that we do not run a full DJ set up. However, we are happy to work alongside other DJ's.
No event is too big or small, as we can cater for venues as small as micro-pubs or as large as village halls/function halls.
We also aim to provide both a family and disability (SEN) friendly service, hoping to cater to all as best as we can; aiming for a general sense of inclusivity!
Our equipment is PAT tested, and we are Public Liability Insured & DBS checked.

We can work to most room sizes, having previously worked for micro-pubs all the way through to large halls.
The only things we would require is access to at least one power socket and space to park one car.
If possible, an internet connection would also be desirable.
We would require address details and parking restriction information (if any).
Information on any sound limiters in the venue would also be desirable
We provide twin 700W speakers for the audience, a 250W floor monitor for the singers, and plenty of RGB Lighting in various forms.
Yes, we can provide music between Karaoke tracks via Spotify. We would either use one of our pre-generated playlists, or you can provide a custom playlist of your choosing for us to use at your event
We use the Karafun online karaoke system. This pulls over 65,000+ songs from the internet for us to use at any one time. We can request for songs to be added to this system, however, this may not always be possible as there are copyrights in place on certain songs which will have been issued by the original artist or their music labels. If you have a song that you would like to sing with us in future, send it to us and we will do our best to get it on there for you.
Alternatively, let us know the song you want us to find the next time you see us and we will add it to the ever growing list.
The best gig we have ever done would be the first time we set up Karaoke at The Bear Inn in Faversham. Everyone who attended that evening were really into their Karaoke, and the crowd were buzzing/dancing along to ever
The best venue we have ever worked at would be at the Court Lodge Estate in Lamberhurst. Such a fantastic and well-kept building, steeped in history, along with its immaculate gardens.
My favourite type of event would have to be bar/pub karaoke nights, as the regulars who come along to our various venues are quite talented. However, we (the hosts), also get a chance to sing on these nights!
I have always been involved with Karaoke in some form, as my family growing up were also doing Karaoke at family gatherings/parties. I was always finding new and different ways of hosting Karaoke for the family, and then I was asked by a friend to start doing Karaoke as a favour at her micro-pub.
I agreed to this, and as time went by I gained more equipment and knowledge and decided to start doing other venues with this in January 2020, but with an incredibly low fee.
And of course, COVID happened. 2 years later, we were back at it and then started going to more venues, and then eventually registered as a business in 2024!
I have got several influences, so I shall listen the artists who I tend to sing a lot of their songs on Karaoke instead:
- Tom Jones
- Queen
- Gary Moore
- Muse
- Foo Fighters
Just A.S.K! ☺
We can work to any performance times the client wishes and we are happy to flexible with times if the client wishes to go on for longer. However it is worth noting that it typically takes 1.5 hours (90 mins) to set up all of our gear. We tend to pack-up within an hour at the event of the event.
Yes, weather depending. We are happier if inside a gazebo.
Clients have full control over the songs they sing and what we play in-between karaoke tracks if they have made a custom playlist.
However, we doing have a couple songs that are in a "Blacklist", which have been placed there due to racial language, extremely vulgar language, or other themes that are deemed too extreme.
We are typically described as the full Live Act/Rockstar Experience!
We think that our Karaoke is set apart from usual karaoke nights as all of the equipment is part of a high-quality professional sound set-up, with the aim of providing an experience to remember!
Additionally, Adam, is actually a singer! So as well as Karaoke, you also get a singer who can entertain between song submissions on the night!
Furthermore, if requested, we can also try to get a couple of Karaoke games in the evening as well; Karaoke Teams (Men vs Women, Group A vs Group B, etc), Karaoke Quizzes and Karaoke Roulette!
We get up on the microphones to introduce ourselves, but also to keep a good flow going when there are any potential quiet periods during an event.
