DAILY MUSIC SHOW COMES TO BEBO

For music lovers everywhere, Beat is the new, must-see music entertainment show co-created by Bebo and Samsung. Hosted by recent 4 Talent award winner Ben Chancellor, Beat will present viewers with constantly evolving music news, engaging daily videos, big name interviews, cutting edge talent, competitions galore and exclusive live performances from the hottest bands.

Launching on the 19th June, this exciting new series will see music sensation, Little Boots, appearing in the debut episode. It will then air every weekday from June to September, exclusively on www.bebo.com/beat. Bebo has joined forces with global production company Endemol and sole partner Samsung Mobile UK to produce this daily music feast.

Ben is ready to live, breathe and sleep the latest sounds, providing users with the most up-to-the-minute music news and gossip. It’s a tall order for one person, so a nationwide competition will be launched inviting fans to audition as the show’s co presenter.

"I’m raring to nab the best new bands for Beat, and you lot can help me!,” enthuses, Presenter Ben Chancellor. “If you think you have what it takes to review the big gigs and wax lyrical with indie icons, then you could well be my co-presenter! Go online to www.bebo.com/beat to find out how."

Each week Ben will be joined by an avid Beat viewer and competition winner to report on all the latest music news from this summer’s biggest festivals and gigs from around the UK. From Glasgow to Greenwich, Beat’s roving reporters will cover the eclectic music tastes of the nation.

Ben has already lined up interviews with well-known names such as Daniel Merriweather, Jordan Sparks and Atlanta garage band The Black Lips.

Beat will also showcase an array of emerging talent and tour blogs where users can upload their own reviews, comment on performances and talk about their personal favourites. Exclusive music performances are expected from Little Boots, MC Bashy and many more.
 
Each episode will present a fantastic opportunity for Beat users to voice their musical opinions, share news and introduce each other to the best new sounds around, which ever genre of music they’re into.

If you’re passionate about music and want to live, hear and chat about freshest sounds, then Beat is for you.
