WOMAD 2009 ROCKED!

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Womad festival at Charlton Park was INSANE this year.

Malmesbury Beatbox Allstars
The Malmesbury Beatbox Allstars: We opened the festival mainstage on the Thursday night with a group of 20 local schoolkids who had been learning beatboxing.

Womad 09 - Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra

quite a big crowd had gathered for our ‘workshop’ on Saturday afternoon but we still got some kids up to learn some beatboxing

Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra
Saturday night and the VO gather their wits before the headline slot in the Siam tent

the crowd was scarily big before we went out.. they were tripping because Peter Gabriel overran on the mainstage and we had to wait for him to finish… they were chanting and slow clapping.. adrenaline fest!!

Latitude 2009

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009


On the way to latitude, we stopped off at Skyfest to perform with the newly formed Sky Choir. This was their first gig (at a festival for 7000 soaking wet sky employees!) and they were great.


Next morning, we were up early to record for BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends with Clive Anderson. It was Eerie walking round the Latitude festival site at 9am when not a soul was around.

Latitude Festival
We were playing on the tiny Outdoor Theatre Stage in the woods. It was rammed – the stage manager told us it was the biggest crowd the stage had ever had!

The next day it was over to the Film and Music stage where I was doing a show with Cape Farewell alongside my fellow Arctic explorers David Buckland, Marcus Brigstocke and Jarvis Cocker.

We ended with a version of Purple Haze. Latitude was great, next stop Womad!

’slick theatrics’ in a purple cow

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

We had a fantastic (sold out!) three-night run at Udderbelly, the upside down purple cow theatre venue that seats 400 people. It was so much fun.

Standing ovation!

Standing ovation!

Shlomo & VO Udderbelly 04

We were trying out a new aspect to the Vocal Orchestra show, with a more theatrical style to it.. Over the next couple of years I’m planning to create a full theatre show, along the lines of something like Stomp, but using only the voice.

Shlomo & VO Udderbelly 02

The Evening Standard described the show as ’slick theatrics’ which is amazing considering how little time we had to throw it together, with no budget whatsoever, just a lot of goodwill and talent! so big thanks to all who have been involved, and to those that came down to support. Cannot wait for phase 2!!!

Next stop GLASTO!
