A FREE hip hop and beatboxing work-shop is to be held this weekend in Llandrindod Wells.

The workshop, at the Powys Dance centre this Sunday, December 15 will follow a song-writing workshop, at Llandrindod Drama Centre on Saturday, December 14.

The sessions will be led by two of the Welsh language music scene's most innovative performers, Mr Huw and Mr Phormula.

Mr Huw has released four albums, to great critical acclaim, and will help participants write and record an original piece of music. This workshop would be ideal for an existing band, or for a musician/singer looking to hook up with like-minded souls.

Mr Phormula is an astounding beat-box artist, rapper and producer based in North Wales who features regularly on S4C. He has just returned from a series of gigs in Harlem, New York.

He will be leading a workshop at Powys Dance in Llandrindod Wells on Sunday where he will pass on some of his amazing skills.

The workshops are being held ahead of the 'A Christmas Rumpus/Twrw'r Nadolig' event, featuring Mr Huw at the Wyeside Arts Centre in Builth Wells on Saturday, December 21.

Places on both workshops are free and strictly limited and booking is essential. Email [email protected]">[email protected] to book your place on the workshop
