Mr Percival
Once upon a time two girls were out for an evening stroll. It was a party night, but the girls had their hearts’ set on a nice cosy hot chocolate at Mickey’s in Paddington. Not very rock ‘n roll I guess, but the plan had been set in motion, and nothing would deter them from their mission. Or would it??!!
Just as they were strolling past The Fringe Bar they were accosted by some serious-assed funkiness. They looked at one another in alarm. Would this funkiness seduce them into the Fringe Bar, force them drink cocktails and dance with reckless abandon?
Well, the funkiness was emanating from none other than Mr Percival (and a smokin’ rhythm section). And yes, the funk did lead the two girls astray. But that’s ok. The girls survived to tell their tale, and partake of hot chocolate another day.
“What is this amazing funkiness?” you might be asking yourself?
Here’s the official word from his bio:
Much more than a singer, Mr Percival is a vocal artist, innovator and brilliant performer. He creates songs using just his extraordinary voice and a series of loop pedals, laying down drum and bass lines and then gorgeous vocal harmonies over the top.
His live gigs are becoming legendary – guaranteed to put a smile on your face and send you back out into the world singing! Everything you hear is created live & spontaneously, with Mr Percival often weaving audience samples into his creations. A Mr Percival gig is a not a hollow display of vocal acrobatics, it is a celebration of song and the beauty of the human voice.
“An a’capella genius. Next time Mr Percival is in town, drop everything and get there.” - Brag
