COMIN’ UP


BEN WESTBEECH INTERVIEW


The recent Red Bull Music Academy Revolution in Sounds event on the London Eye was a real spectacle to behold as 30 performers played in the 30 pods to a handful of delighted partygoers. Ben Westbeech was one of those who performed so we asked him what it was like to play high up in the skies…


How was that for you?


“The RBMA Revolution in Sound party was such an amazing show and it was amazing to be a part of. I played a solo live show in there. I sang and played tunes and bought the party to the pod! It’s such a unique experience to be able to play in the London eye. It’s so intimate and the people in my pod were all lovely. I’m still buzzing from it! The pod was vibing!”
