It’s going to be all hip hop hooray at Trowbridge’s Birdhouse when Bristol’s award-winning boom bap rappers The Scribes arrive on Saturday 21st November….
The Birdhouse has fast become a staple venue in our county town, providing free music every weekend and a town centre platform for a plethora of local acts. Yet, even if you’ve only a passing interest in hip hop, it’s an ideal opportunity to visit The Birdhouse, because, from tongue-twisting conscious rhymes to amusing improv freestyling, dope beats to unbelievable live beatboxing, The Scribes waxing lyrical will astound you……
If my heroes of hip hop rest in the old school, an era and ocean away, if I can say at least I’ve seen Run DMC live, but boom bap masters who can really spit complex, rapid-fire lyrics, like A Tribe Called Quest and the Fu-Schnickens, I’m unlikely to ever witness, and if I did they’d probably be too full of bravado to give me the time of day, The Scribes are top of the UK scene right now, and they’re nice enough to come over to say hi; they’ve even placed our logo on the poster, a nice touch to get a preview, even if I intended to anyway!
Because they rocked out the Muck & Dunder in Devizes four years ago, as they do wherever they go, but Devizes is hardly hip hop central, hence my point; you don’t have to be Eminem to appreciate the Scribes show. It’s an amazing and unique booking, Claire and Chloe of the Birdhouse, one which I’m making a beeline for, looking forward to, will report my findings, but highly recommend you pay The Birdhouse a visit on Saturday 21st November rather than read about what you sorely missed!
Better start my crazy legs retraining. St John’s Ambulance on standby; see you there!
