The Beats Bus is put together of core members
Firstly
Steve aka Redeye
Steve's well known throughout the City, he's a huge hit for his musical talents.
Playing at events such as Humber Street Sesh.
That links me to Nigel
Nigel hails from EndOfLevelBaddie
Which personally I adored, If you know EndOflevelBaddie you'll know Nigel and Scott
Nigel has moved on to new ventures which involves Hulls Beat Bus
Then too Nick Horsfield
Nick's talent is all over the city.
I've known Nick quite some time and shared a great day watching De La Soul In York
I believe Nick was doing live graffiti on that day also.
If you're a fan of
Dope Burger, Sesh and Graffiti
you'll know Nick
Fast T, who is a tutor
I know little about Fast T but I do know he's a talented man.
I know that he's clearly confident and I have seen his face at all the major gigs and transport people with his music into something of a stupor.
This is indeed my kind of vibe!
Then this collaborative...
Lush, mellow, chilled and soulful.
Then we move to Dave Okwesia
I've never met Dave but he turned up at the meeting with Redeye and it all unravelled.
Dave been involved in many things, you'll find him on Hull's spring bank.
It's fundamental to know the roots of these guys, Beats Bus is a collaborative of many talents brought together to help bring communities
together.
Arco a local company invested in Hulls Beat bus
Listening to Redeye their latest up and coming event is going to be held for 120 volunteers that have been guiding all the visitors through 2017 our year, our city of culture 2017.
The day will be full of
Dj sessions, breakdancing, songwriting and graffiti, some soulful confidence building. Reaching out to ages from as young as sixteen to people in seventies.
The ethos and roots are about reaching out to people, investing in children who are often left out of society and don't have the money or resources to be involved.
Bringing communities together to battle against violence.
Beat's bus also is involved in many schools projects including Priory Road, Hall Road & Ainthorpe.
The result was a really inspiring production at Freedom festival
Firstly, how beautiful is this!
Total amazing vibes.. Huge love to those children!
Music is an integral part of life, sadly music and art are being cut from many school curriculums.
Music is expressive and creative so I feel Beats Bus is a great asset to the city and hopefully the country!
