Bible of Beatz Opens the Book of Rhymez!

Middlesbrough raised Bible of Beatz makes an appearance at July's event VerseS at The Empire in Middlesbrough!

Bible of Beatz performed fantastically at The Empire, showcasing 6 of his latest songs. At the age of 18, Bible began writing music which he decided at the age of 23 to take on seriouly as a career. Last year bought him some success as he made it to the quarter finals of the Live & Unsigned Open Mic Competition as well as drawing the attension of two record labels who were to sign his song "Lifes Too Short".

Bible's song "Nothing To Lose" was also selected by local boxers Yazzi Harris, and Stewart Gibson as their opening song as they made their way to the ring at local boxing event 'Men of Steel' which took place in Aklam City Gardens in July earlier this year. Both fighters went on to win their fights.

Later on at the VerseS event, Bible stepped onto the stage to battle Hartlepool's lyricist Bam the Bastard in a good old fashioned Rap Battle. 

The battle was extremely close with both rappers putting on a great performance with lots of clever hit lines. Unfortunately Bible lost the battle to Bam but with an every growing Artist profile, a repetoire of outstanding music and a performance like the one he had earlier that evening, one loss is nothing to worry about.

We as well as many of his fans are eagerly awaiting the release of his album "Were It All Begins".

Check out Bible of Beatz Performance at VerseS here!

 

Also you can hear his Taster track "Nothing To Lose" below;

THE JAR FAMILY – THE INDUSTRIAL FOLK PIONEERS COME TO MIDDLESBROUGH

 The North Easts fastest rising band headline Launch Night of Middlesbrough’s hottest, newest night

The list of acts they have supported read like a who’s who in music, however The Jar Family have worked hard for them position’s and it’s a matter of time before the headline slots come. Acts such as Alabama 3, The Charlatans, Babyshambles, Jake Bugg and Sunshine Underground amongst others have had faith and requested the support of The Jar Family. When you hear the ‘Industrial Folk’ ringing out and witness their stage presence it will become plain to see why they have had such prestigious support slots. Hartlepool’s homegrown troubadour’s next stop is Middlesbrough’s hottest, newest venue Mink Tattoo Coffee Bar on Corporation Road.

Sunday 26th August will see the launch night of brand new Middlesbrough music flagship night ‘Mint!’ Which is a new monthly show held at the beautiful new venue Mink. The night is designed to push forward the Teesside Music Scene. The audience can expect a premium show with the best up and coming acts from around the UK supplemented with the best of the local scene. To prove Mink’s genuine “Boro” heritage, the bar is actually made from bricks acquired from the council estates on what used to be Union Street.

It made perfect sense to the Joint Effort team that The Jar Family would headline the launch night of Mint! The Jar Family are a 7 piece band from the north east of England which includes five singer/songwriters/guitarists of various styles who collectively describe their sound as 'Industrial Folk'. Also in the band is Keith Wilkinson (Formerly of Squeeze & The Jools Holland Big Band) on bass and Kez Edwards on Percussion/Cajon. Their heartfelt inspiring tunes have people flocking to see them gig most notably 200 people in Doctor Browns, a sold out homecoming gig with 500+ at Hartlepool Town Hall and 60+ travelling all the way to London to watch them play their first London date. They are not to be missed as they rise through the ranks.

Support comes from North East Bluegrass Legends The Bluebuds who are bringing their homegrown, organic sound to the Mint! Stage. After playing numerous festivals such as The Willowman Festival and Stockton Weekender it’s now Middlesbrough’s turn to sample some of them sweet raw tunes. Also playing is exciting new Teesside Band The Smiles who have received good response for their debut single “Sail On” which received airplay from Tom Hingley of The Inspiral Carpets. And as always The Magnificent Mint! Houseband will also be playing an electric set. Starting with Joint Effort Co-Pilot Rikki Doolan and other local musicians, who will join as the nights go on. Expect music that will get you ready, music to prepare you for what’s in store, music that is what it is Mint!

Tickets are only priced at £5 and physical tickets can be acquired from Mink Tattoo Coffee Bar or any Joint Effort event (Such as 4PLAY @ Doc Browns on a Thursday). Online tickets can be gained at www.wegottickets.com (Search The Jar Family). Tickets can be bought on the door at £7. However there are very limited available. Upon publishing tickets are moving faster than imagined. But with one of the fastest rising bands in the UK at present playing at one of the freshest venues then it’s understandable.
