A POPULAR hip hop act performs in Bridgwater next week on Friday, October 11.

The Scribes will be performing at The Cobblestones, and it will be the group’s only show in Bridgwater this year. It comes off the back of a huge summer for the group, including a critically acclaimed performance at Glastonbury Festival.

The Scribes are a multi award winning hip hop act whose unique blend of beatboxing, off the cuff freestyling, crowd participation and genre-spanning music has created a critically acclaimed live show quite unlike any other on the scene today, with appeal ranging far beyond traditional hip-hop.

The event starts at 7pm. Tickets cost £10 and can be purchased online at:  https://bit.ly/3zLeXRr

Shaun Amos, who works with The Scribes, said: “The Cobblestones has been a bastion of original live music in Bridgwater for years now, it's always a joy to perform there and we think it's so important to support grass roots venues like this.”

“They work so hard to bring touring acts to the area and to support local up and coming artists, things have been hard for independent music for the last few years so it's more vital than ever that places like The Cobblestones are as cherished and loved as they should be. So please do come on down to the show if you can do, it's going to be an amazing night!"

The Scribes have consistently proven to be an impressive and engaging live act with recent festival appearances at Latitude, Glastonbury, WOMAD, Wireless, Electric Picnic (Ire), Wilderness, Shambala, Boomtown, Bearded Theory, Beautiful Days, Great Estate and many more.

In addition, the three-piece are proud winners of both the Exposure Music Award's "Best UK Urban Act" and the EatMusic Radio Award's "Best Live Act". The group have also provided original music for the BBC and Channel 4 television, and are featured regularly on both national and local radio and media including BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1 Introducing and BBC Radio 6 Music.

The Scribes are hotly tipped as one to watch, recently signing with Stimulus Management (Nas, Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, Busta Rhymes), and sharing the stage with the likes of Macklemore, Rudimental, Nathan Dawe, Wu Tang Clan, Dizzee Rascal, Kelis, Rag N Bone Man, Example, Lethal Bizzle, The Wailers, Jurassic 5, Sugarhill Gang, KRS One, Pharoahe Monch, De La Soul, MF DOOM, and Souls Of Mischief to name (drop) but a few, and are steadily establishing a growing following across the continent to add to their already significant fan base at home.
