The main support tonight was Kila Kela a, human beatbox, entertaining tonights crowd with his lyrical skills and instrument mimicry,in between his beatbox beats were some familiar lyrics, from boom boom boom, dance wiv me and milkshake, plus some others Ive heard but haven't a clue who its by, he was quite entertaining, the guy has some useful skills and depending on how you look at it useless skills, he was looking to spread the word by getting people to record him on there phone then pass it on to there mates, in my opinion most mobile videos are shit and the sound quality is piss poor, so a tad useless. he also got the crowd involved in singing them well known songs. He was good, but im just undecided if a human beatbox can be anygood.

A good night for the crowd for me not such a good one.

Kila Kela 3/5
