Hello
Lekiddo
I just wanted to say a huge thank you from both myself & Nell here at Two PennyBlue.
It was so great that you could come and join us
at this years event on Saturday
at such short notice. Your show was
fab and the positive feedback we have had from
the client about the
whole event
has been tremendous. Thank you again for helping to make
it such a fantastic day.
I have attached couple of pics for you.
Have a great rest of the summer and speak soon

@lekiddo Hahaha, I actually wanted to remove these tweets, felt put
under pressure by this sultry charismatic man.
@degroenemeisjes @lekiddo Hahaha ik wilde deze tweets eigenlijk verwijderen, voelde me onder druk gezet door deze zwoele charismatische man.
Dear Lekiddo,
thank you so much for you performances this weekend.
It was a delight to meet you and see you perform live. I hope you enjoyed it (i think you did) as much as we did!
Thanks!! - Katelyn B, Rotterdam Pride 2016
Tara & David's Wedding
Tara M (The Bride): "YOU WERE AMAZING!!! X
EVERYONE loved your set, it made the wedding and I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for performing at my wedding!! Xxx"
Kate B: David and Tara's wedding yesterday in Kent will stay with me for the rest of my life.
LEKIDDO - Lord of The Lobsters! was the biggest hit of the night!
Lexy P: Oh yeah, and Lekiddo Arbuah aka "Lord
of Lobsters" was performing at the wedding too at the weekend.
You
know, after being at Glastonbury a couple of months ago!! Show us
your claws!!
Greetings, Lekiddo! All
hail the Lord!
My fiancé and I saw you at Glastonbury back in June last year. It
was the best unplanned attendance
at the whole festival and is one
of our favourite memories of the whole week. Thank you for being damned
unique and for tripping us out with the gift of your talent, tent,
claws and infectious audience inducing tunes!
What impressed us the most was the hypnotic yet confused reaction
of those entering your tent, and after a
few seconds only everyone
succumbing to your ultimate power and being beautifully converted
without knowing how!
I'm basically writing to enquire whether you might be open to a cameo
at our wedding...
It would be quite awesome for you to do a set in the evening at our
special day.
It would also be a brilliant surprise for my lady.

seems like the kind of guy
who'd be fun to hang with at one of his
shows or at your annual Christmas party. ...And, sure, you'll be
scratching your head at first but, after a few minutes, you'll likely
find yourself doing the "Pinchy Pinchy Kiss Kiss" without even knowing
it.”

Lekiddo's music is the ultimate in feel-good fun with a generous dose of eccentricity thrown in. 'Beautiful London', a sunny tribute to the capital, is a vibrant mix of pop, rap and a chorus straight out of infectious musical theatre. A joyous guide through the city, 'Beautiful London' lovingly dances and leaps through the sights and sounds of the city including Buckingham Palace, the parks, the theatres and the markets. And there's no rain or commuter misery in sight. If anything, 'Beautiful London' makes me more proud to be a Londoner than last year's Olympics!
Other delightful songs include the disco anthem to holiday good times 'To The Beach' and the brilliantly bonkers narrative-driven 'This Cafe' with an array of distinctive larger-than-life characters.

Performing live, Lekiddo is a major force of real positive energy. Audiences enthusiastically participate in the lobster impersonating Pinchy Pinchy Kiss Kiss dance and the atmosphere's euphoric. Lekiddo's shows embody a summer holiday. Forget seriousness and self-consciousness - just relax, let go and enjoy.
This summer, Lekiddo - Lord of the Lobsters will be spreading the Pinchy Pinchy Kiss Kiss love on the Life's a Beach! stage at the Isle of Wight Festival, Theatre & Circus at Glastonbury Festival and, for the fifth year running, Lounge On The Farm.
Let's make Summer 2013 the Summer of Lobsters!
'Beautiful London' is available to download on iTunes
St Pauls Lifestyle met
Lekiddo Lord of the Lobsters at Longitude for Latitude earlier this
week. PinchyPinchyKissKiss!
In
the run up to Latitude Festival Rose went up to London to 'Longitude'
at The Hospital Club - a pre event for the Festival - where she
met the Lord of the Lobsters. Read all about that
evening here and Latitude
here.
With
the #PinchyPinchyKissKiss dance this lobster loving entertainer is
on the surreal end of the scale but the love for him is growing fast!
Everyone who sees him perform seems to rave about how happy he made
them feel which cant' be a bad thing! He certainly had that effect
on Rose.
As well as Latitude Festival you can find Lekiddo playing Glastonbury 2013, Lounge on the Farm 2013 and The Isle of Wight Festival 2013 bringing at least the metaphorical sunshine with him.
Thanks for sending 'this cafe' - IT'S A WORK OF GENIUS! WELL DONE YOU!

Muso’s Guide Singles Club: 29 August 2011by Chenaii MadhooLEKIDDO Lord of The Lobsters!
‘This Cafe’
On first listen, ‘This Cafe’ is unfathomable! Why, because it initially appears to be a geezer rapping nonsensically over a pseudo-dub/ska beat no disrespect to LEKIDDO. However on further plays, the mystery of the ‘nonsense’ unravels to reveal a very catchy and infectious song. This Cafe draws on the ancient oral tradition of telling stories of everyday life handed down in many families mediated through culture and music. Previous recording artistes have popularised this tradition and have frequently featured in the UK charts notably Mike Skinner
(aka The Streets), dub poet, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and punk-era raconteur and poet, John Cooper Clarke. The difference between his predecessors and LEKIDDO however, is that none of them had adopted the persona of a lobster: yes, I kid you not. Crustacean persona aside, ‘This Cafe’ delivers on entertainment, beat, repetition of the hook ‘this cafe is a happening cafe/ I said “yeah”/ this cafe is a happening cafe’- and infectiousness! Unusual yes, but I dare you not move dance even- once you’ve settled into the rhythm of the song. A must for those who need their mood lifted.

Monto Water Rats - review
There
simply is no one like LEKIDDO - Lord of The Lobsters! I first came
across him @ Glastonbury, spreading sunshine across the late night
dance fields. On Monday I saw him play at Monto Water Rats. His unique
mix of live singing, uplifting joyous pop disco music, and undeniable
charm had the whole room grooving to his outrageous dance moves. David
Cameron oughta employ LEKIDDO - Lord of The Lobsters! to keep us happy,
it'd save the NHS millions! Till he does, I suggest you see him as
soon as possible, you'll trip back home full of love and laughter.

I
went to see LEKIDDO - Lord of The Lobsters! perform at the Water Rats
last night. I'm still not sure what I experienced, but I reckon saying
he's a genius might be a bit of an understatement. He got the whole
venue lobster dancing, pinchy pinchy, kiss kiss!
Thanks again, congrats to Lekiddo on your gig last night, superb!
Great work last night, I did feel sorry for the act following you
though. You did great.

Festival reviews
… boy, what a finale he gave us. After teaching the audience some
beautiful dance moves to use during the chorus, he launched into a
song about beaches, cocktails and, of course, disco. There was something
so radiant and modest about Lekiddo that made me want to get the dance
just right and make him happy. As I turned round, I saw the
whole tent doing the movements and gazing at him in the same way that
I must have been. During the applause he looked bashful and
flattered which made me like him even more. Lekiddo you are something
special. Pinchy Pinchy kiss kiss!
LOBSTER QUADRILLE MAGAZINE
(blog: LEKIDDO - Many Are Called...)
Album reviews
"...The cover shows a picture of our hero's naked manly torso,
but this is no 50 Cent album. What we're talking about here is seriously
positive vibes (The Dawn), pumping beats and some choice lyrics. Many
Are Called for example intersperses Lekiddo's sensual singing with
a chant of "rumpy-pumpy-rumpy-pumpy."
Let Me Love You All Over speaks for itself, and I would expect to
hear it early in the morning on a beach in Ibiza. What's impressive
on all the tracks is the production levels and Lekiddo's smooth voice.
In The Disco shows that our man is a good songwriter too. "Dance,
dance my lady, dance, in the disco we are not alone," is the sort
of lyric I can dig.
Lekiddo, I take my hat (or should that be my shirt?) off to
