The Scribes + special guest DJ XL

We are GASSED to have the epic Scribes heading to Patchwork!

The Scribes are a multi-award winning hip hop act from Bristol whose unique talents have combined to make a trademark sound quite unlike any other, featuring a seamless blend of live instrumentation and sampling set against a backdrop of head nodding boom bap breaks.

One of the most in demand touring acts in the UK today, the group are known for critically acclaimed performances full of energy, beatboxing, crowd participation and off the cuff freestyling. The Scribes have become festival favourites across the UK, recently gracing the stage at Glastonbury, Wireless, Isle Of Wight, Electric Picnic, Latitude, Wilderness, WOMAD, Boomtown, Urban In Ibiza, Shambala, Bearded Theory, Leopallooza and many more.

The group’s extensive touring has seen them collaborate and perform with some of the biggest names in the scene including Macklemore, Rudimental, MF DOOM, Dizzee Rascal, Lethal Bizzle, Example, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan, The Pharcyde, Wiley, KRS One, Four Owls, Goldie, Sugarhill Gang and Chase and Status to name (drop) but a few.
The Scribes were the first UK artist signed with US label Kamikazi Airlines, co-owned by Dizzy Dustin of legendary hip hop act Ugly Duckling, releasing "The Sky Is Falling" LP and "The Scribes Present Ill Literature" LP worldwide to critical acclaim.
