Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championships 2008

Beatboxing is the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, voice, nasal passage and throat. Now the race is on to win a brand spanking new car as 2008 sees the return of the Vauxhall Beatboxing Championships.

If you think you have the talent to tackle Britain’s best beatboxers, then check out  www.vauxhallbeatboxchamps.co.uk – you could bag yourself a top of the range Vauxhall Corsa SXi.

The future UK Beatbox Champion and their voicebox will have to compete in a series of one to one ‘8 Mile’ style contests to take the title. The good news is, existing champion Beardyman will be stepping down to play judge (having hogged the title for two consecutive years), meaning there will be a guaranteed new winner in 2008.

The competition kicks off with the heats taking place in four regions across the UK. The cream of the British beatboxing crop will be battling it out in Nottingham, London, Leeds and Bristol throughout February. The vocal victors will then face-off in London’s Grand Final at Islington Carling Academy June 8th. The judges include some of the biggest names from the beatboxing community including Hobbit and Bellatrix!

If you think you’ve got what it takes, get those vocal chords revved up, head down to your closest heat and prove you’ve got the verbal virtuosity to become The Vauxhall UK Beatbox Champion 2008 – and lets not forget, win yourself a brand new Corsa SXi which comes complete with air conditioning, Bluetooth technology (so you can use your mobile phone), metallic paint and meaty 17” alloys.
