SSH! IT'S KARAOKE NIGHT AT THE NUT TREE

Saturday night is karaoke night at The Nut Tree in Bancroft Street. “So what?" you might say, "lots of pubs have karaoke nights!”

And so they do - but not like this one. For the popular town centre pub has scored a No.1 hit by being the first in the country to feature karaoke for the deaf. Set up jointly by landlord Bill Blocker and the Froghill branch of the Hard Of Hearing Organisation (HOHO), 'Silent Nite' makes sure that karaoke at The Nut Tree is all about signing not singing.

Wannabe pop stars can get up on stage, follow the bouncing ball and sign along to their favourite hits. There are literally hundreds of titles to choose from, with selections including Silence is Golden by The Tremeloes, Sign O The Times by Prince and Action! Not Words by Def Leppard.

So all we are saying is get on down to The Nut Tree this Saturday and give peace a chance.

• Silent Nite @ The Nut Tree, Bancroft Street, Froghill. Every Saturday, 8 til late. Phone 0372 41227.

I like it. This idea should be tried in every pub.

In fact with proper choreography, it might make it as an olympic sport :)
