Introducing…The Vocal Orchestra, created by beatboxer Shlomo

We’re excited to announce one of two headline shows coming to E4 Udderbelly Festival at Southbank Centre in 2012.

This uplifting mash-up of intricate group beatbox routines and roof-raising interpretations of all-time classics will leave you whooping, clapping and dancing all the way home.
