Mr. B. The Gentleman Rhymer Bio:
Mr.B began his Chap-Hop career in the summer of 2007 when he decided to bring elements of his previous incarnations (UK rapper, jump-up breaks producer, banjolele maverick and dandy) together and create a genre.
‘A Piece Of My Mind’, his first ditty was released in Japan on Second Royal Records and its accompanying video and UK tour dates alerted the rest of the world to this new musical form.
Since then he has travelled the world, from Surrey to Osaka, Banstead to Berlin, Middlesbrough to Minneapolis, Norway to New York and the Edinburgh Fringe to Glastonbury bringing his beats, rhymes and manners as well as songs about cricket, pipe smoking, high society and interfering with livestock.
Mr.B has recorded five long players (OG, Original Gentleman; The Tweed Album, Can’t Stop Shan’t Stop, Mr.B’s Christmas Album and 2016’s There’s A Rumpus Going On) as well as one collection of Chappist Acid House (Mr.B The Gentleman Selector’s Acid Ragtime: Chapstep Volume One). He also releases terribly English electronica under the guise of The Major.
His videos have garnered millions of view on YouTube and his media appearances have included Rapping for Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight, playing live on BBC Radio One for Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw and Scott Mills, on Radio Two for Claudia Winkleman and Steve Lamacq, 6Music for Tom Robinson and Shaun Keaveny and for Zoe Ball on Sky Arts. He was also once the front page of the Wall Street Journal and was described by the Daily Mail as ‘Controversial’.
Wight Hot Pipes Bio:
A six-piece Celtic Rock band playing covers from all genres with vocals and bagpipes, playing large functions to theme nights, New Years eve parties and international events. With a prime slot on the Glastonbury Croissant Neuf Stage in 2019 (where Ed Sheeran made his Glastonbury debut), and their album ‘Any Time It Rains’ released in June 19, Wight Hot Pipes are really making their mark. Hailing from the musically-creative shores of the Isle of Wight, Wight Hot Pipes are an internationally acclaimed six-piece band who commanded a standing ovation at the BBKing Club in Broadway Manhattan in 2017.
Diverse and eclectic, Wight Hot Pipes deliver a mix of musical genres which fuse in their melodic melting pot to create an exhilarating cocktail of flavours; spanning the entire spectrum from celtic all the way through to contemporary dance and gritty rock. With original pennings and covers including ‘Starlight’ and ‘Galway Girl’ the album, ‘Any Time It Rains’ is a 13-track collection that will leave you feeling energised and invigorated.
But it’s the sheer twist of bagpipes within their instrumental line-up that kicks the roof out of every venue they play. This, combined with the genius talent of lead singer, Tori, that give WHP absolute stand-out. Thought you knew bagpipes – think again! Wight Hot Pipes just brought the pipes smashing into rock music with an edgy attitude that ignites the room and whips up nothing short of euphoria.
Their image and sound screams out from the sea of other bands, and Wight Hot Pipes are carving an indelible print onto the experiential journey of their ever-growing audience – once seen and heard, the charisma and the band is never forgotten. Wight Hot Pipes have taken piping to the next level – the Wight Hot Pipes revolution is coming, embrace it!
Madam Zuri Arossa Bio:
Fun, froufrou, feathers, and fabulous burlesque routines aplenty and most wonderful effervescent and in demand Mistress of Ceremonies, combining grace, style and panache with a wonderful stage presence.
