Beardyman at the Guild Hall
November 19, 2014 @ 7:00 pm GMT
Musician Darren Foreman was given the nickname Beardyman because a name was quickly needed for a flyer for an early show, and he had a beard at the time. Since then he has become a regular on the festival circuit and a YouTube sensation.
In 2006 Beardyman battled to become UK Beatbox Champion and retained his title in 2007 making him the first beatboxer in UK history to win two championships in a row.
As well as an accomplished solo beatboxer, Beardyman was inspired by MC Xander to use music technology such as the Korg Kaoss Pad 3 in order to loop and sample his vocals. Through his use of looping tools he effectively produces whole DJ sets where the records are constructed live from his vocalisations, as well as live production of original material.
His music frequently contains elements of drum and bass, dubstep, breakbeat, trance, techno and other associated forms of electronic dance music. He also incorporates other forms of music into his live sets, including reggae and country music, often for comedic purposes.
Tickets: £12.50
Doors 7.30pm. Over 14s only. This Is A Standing Event.
