'It's all about cats and boots' - Plymouth's beatboxing teenager going for glory at UK championships

A teenager from Plymouth is hoping to wow the judges with his vocal skills at the UK Beatboxing Championships.

Connor Saunders-Staddon, aged 17, will battle with the best in the business in London later this month.

He has been beatboxing for about two years - and says the skill takes passion, talent and hard work.

Connor says he was inspired to take up beatboxing after listening to other artists and meeting like-minded people at last year's championships.

He says he enjoys the fact that he can take his skill anywhere and perform it at parties or with his friends.
