New concerts have been announced on the events page including a new Music Through Unconventional Means show and a three-night Vocal Orchestra run at the E4 Udderbelly.

Had a really busy day yesterday. Went to the launch of Artists Taking The Lead which is the new scheme from the Arts Council for 12 grants of £500K for artists to create work as part of the cultural olympiad. Get your thinking caps on!

Then spent the day working on some new tracks which I’m planning to perform at the show at QEH. I got to try them out last night at the Jazz Cafe where Biz Markie was headlining. Biz is a dude, he was really excited to hear about the beatboxing babies on you tube!

For those of you in London, Shlomo will be making a secret performance tonight opening for hip-hop legend Biz Markie at the Jazz Cafe in Camden.

More info and tickets here.

Here’s a video of some of the beatbox academy in action.

You can see the current crop of Beatbox Academy performers live at the Urban Music Showcase, alongside myself jestar* and current UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani at 8.30pm on April 4th at BAC, £5 / £3 Concessions.
