Next Friday's (December 9) show at Bedford Esquires has been about five years in the making, but finally the promoting bods been able to secure a date with the genius that is Beardyman.
Chances are, you already know Beardyman. He’s the lovable beatboxing champion, the festival favourite last heard playing the charismatic stoner on Fatboy Slim’s global smash Eat Sleep Rave Repeat, right?
Well, yes, that was Beardyman. But the musician who emerged from hiding on his startling 2014 album Distractions was virtually a different species altogether.
As for the Beardytron that Distractions was made on?
It required four iPads and two laptops “running at just below the speed of light” to enable Beardyman to instantly process any song ideas he had, straight away being able to access his hundreds of presets made on myriad instruments and manipulating them in infinite combinations to record and mix live.
We should be grateful that Beardyman used the Beardytron to make a great album, rather than create the black hole it’s probably capable of....
Beardy sells out everywhere so don't risk late entry or you'll be crying into your microwave dinner at home alone on the big night!
MC LeeN will join him at the bash and you get tickets here
