Leeds, England beatboxer Shlomo-- who's worked with the likes of Björk and Damon Albarn in the past-- has gathered quite an unusual cast for an anti-knife violence gig called Music Through Unconventional Means Vs. Knife Crime, taking place at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on December 13. Jarvis Cocker, Martina Topley-Bird, Sam Duckworth of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, drummer Seb Rochford, comedian Marcus Brigstocke, and mom-approved "A Thousand Miles" singer Vanessa Carlton will all participate in the event, performing one or two songs with Shlomo or the other guests, with beatbox choir the Vocal Orchestra as the backing band.

Mutya Buena will perform in a concert against knife crime

Mutya Buena is set to join Jarvis Cocker on stage for the UK's largest concert against knife crime.

The eclectic list of musicians will perform in central London on Saturday to deliver their message to young people who carry knives that there is an alternative.

The concert takes place at the Southbank Centre in Lambeth, a borough that has seen two teenage deaths in violent attacks in 2008 from the grim figure of 28 across the capital.

Comedian Marcus Brigstocke, American singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton and former So Solid Crew rapper Asher D also feature on the bill.

The concert is the brainchild of beatbox artist Schlomo - beatboxing is an urban music style in which vocal chords alone produce the sound of drums and other instruments.

And, in an a cappella twist to their classic hits, Schlomo will provide a beatbox backing to songs sung by Jarvis Cocker and Mutya Buena.

Schlomo believes his talent, and sharing it with disaffected youngsters, can help reduce knife crime in the capital.

He said: "Beatboxing is an ideal tool: it is uniquely inclusive because everybody has a voice. You don't need to pay a penny for any equipment, and a group of people can start to make music together in no time at all. Plus it's cool, kids want to do it."
