It’s that time again! The 2007 Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championships kick off in May, and this year the stakes are high: the 2007 National Champion will be driving home in a brand new Vauxhall Corsa SXi!!

With heats throughout the UK in May and early June, leading up to the Grand Finale in London on June 8th, judged by none other than Scratch of the Roots, TyTe and Shlomo, this year’s UK Championships are looking more exciting than ever.

The 7 winners of the regional heats will all get a chance to pit their skills against the current UK Champion: Beardyman. "The games's got tougher, but I've got better. Come and have a go!" says the Brighton beatbox star.
