   About Ben Castle
The Ben Castle Tribute Band were formed to pay tribute to sax player Ben Castle. Tribute bands seem to be doing very well at the moment, sometimes better than the original band so The Ben Castle Tribute Band thought they would get in there first and beat Ben himself to international stardom. The real coup is that they've managed to secure the talents of some of Ben's original band members and Ben himself has agreed to come and front the band for cash. They might do a gig soon, they did one recently and someone enjoyed it.

Thanks for the advice!

I look for humour in music. I think Sting is hilarious!! Mick Hucknall is also something of a comedian! I mean, no-one with a voice like that can truly believe they're the world's greatest singer, can they! What a good joke!! And as for that Mr Blobby Williams Frank Sinatra impression....I fell off my chair!!

And you thought I was a nice guy?!......just a vicious rumour, I'm afraid!!!

Hey Ben, we've now got the smallest excerpt of stuff up on our page. The sound quality isn't great.
They'll be more on next week.
All the best,

Hi Ben - thanks for the add. Love the website - especially the Virtual Sax! All the best, Clarki.

I remember having a chat with Miles Bould discussing why humour had all but disappeared in modern music (along with the drum solo!!). Then he played me Night and Day and my faith was restored!!

Keep up the very good (and very necessary) work!!

Best

p.s.
if you need a drum solo on any upcoming recordings, I'm your man!!

Mr.Castle!Indeed all the flip's are well and busy. It seems you may be too?Think we saw posters on the perfectly functioning London underground of a lady you may know?Of course,we would prefer to see posters of you and your favourite grey mac opening and closing,sure it would cheer up the drab faces you see down there.
How about it then?Can we do a night covert operation to make this happen?We have the people and the power!

Hi Ben,
Thanks a million - likewise, your stuff is really cool. I like it a lot.
I'm grand, just trying to write a bit at the minute but its not really flowing...
(Have to write a piece for a thousand singers and a drummer - I'm a tad stuck to say the least)

Hey Ben
Just a quick comment to ask if you'll be playing with Beth in Dublin on the 29th? If I catch you during the gig would you be able to sign my copy of Blah Street or Four From The Madding Crowd? Love Deva xx

More silliness? Does that mean there might be a new album on the way? Huzzah!
Good to hear from you, all's good here, am gearing up to move to California next month though which is a bit scary.
Have you got any gigs coming up? It'd be good to catch up before I go if you're around. :)

Hey Ben! Good to hear from you. How are you? You might be a good person to ask, I need a new fiddle player for the band. Need someone good and dedicated who isn't busy with millions of other people. Any ideas?
God bless.
