BIO
Ben Dalby is a Shopshire lad who grew up on a farm near Warwickshire. He is just about old enough to remember people singing ‘Another Brick In The Wall Part 2’ at his junior school.

He has been writing and recording music for 20 years, ever since he overheard some of his friends talking about getting a band together in the queue for a class at school.

His real love is programming traffic control systems, but due to the economic downturn this must remain a part-time hobby whilst he brings home the bacon as a recording artist.

Ben’s songs can be gentle, humourous or fiery. His lyrics are thought-provoking and original in perspective.

He has recently launched a YouTube channel, which has resulted in over 70,000 views, and radio plays for “Chinese Friends” and “The Credit Crunch Song.”

SYMPHONY OF SILENCE
Ben's album 'Symphony of Silence' is available on CD Baby and iTunes - click on the buttons below:
