To its devotees, it is the last true test of a performer. There's no script, no set, no cast, no instrument - nothing between you and the baying crowd except sheer attitude and a borrowed spandex jump suit, writes James Randerson.
Air guitar allows even the most boring middle manager to connect with his inner rawk monster and let rip. And if you've ever pranced round in front of the mirror to Led Zep or Jimi Hendrix, it's time to release that bedroom rock god into the limelight.
Tonight is the UK's first Aireoke event. Anyone can come along and try their hand at being a wireless axeman, and there's only one rule - no instruments allowed.
"It's the rock star's equivalent of karaoke," Zac Monro, twice air guitar world champion and co-organiser of the event, said.
"We want to provide some kind of instant therapy to all those people who ... want to let some energy out of their system."
