I’m currently working as musical director for Dizzee Rascal’s upcoming performance at the BBC Electric Proms. We’re looking for some mental ideas for how to perform the tracks in surprising and exciting ways. This harmonica / beatbox performance of Bonkers by Son of Dave is definitely an inspiration and is a great example both of how a good song will work in a totally different performance style, and that loop based solo performances can transcend novelty acts to be a really creative performance medium.
