Who thought the South Bank centre would be ones to get down with it? It being the freestyle oral workouts of modern one man bands, beatboxing. They’ve hired beatboxer meister Shlomo as their new artist in residence, after seeing the multi-talented motormouth combine beatboxing through a loop sampler, beatboxing and drumming simultaneously. He’s set to collaborate with artists as diverse as Martha Wainwright and DJ Yoda as well as bringing back the Beatbox Choir that played at Big Chill earlier this year and 2008 will see the return of the International Beatbox Convention. And for the more highbrow of us, there will also be a series of gigs called ‘Music Through Unconventional Means’ where Shlomo will perform with unusual artists and encourage them to ‘engage outside their comfort zone.’
