Dlugokecki is a musical project fronted by Ben Dlugokecki (pronounced- Der-loo-go-ken-ski) - An extraordinarily talented 26 year old prolific singer/songwriter based in Southampton, England. He is joined by Andy Wild (Keys, vocals), Marie Kitchen (Cello, vocals), Boyd (Drums) & Aidan Hampson (Bass). Their music has been compared to the likes of David Gray, Paul Simon and Damian Rice.

Five of their biggest shows to date were supporting million-selling artists 'David Gray', 'Snow Patrol', 'Corinne-Bailey Rae', 'The Proclaimers' and 'Lu Lu' on their world tours, playing to thousands of people. In 2009 they played the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas also playing 2 shows in New York to great acclaim.

They have also played alongside 'Starsailor', 'Mouldy Peaches', Brit-award nominees 'Beth Rowley' and 'Nerina Pallot', 'The Webb Sisters', 'Ben's Brother', 'Longview', 'Sandi Thom' 3 times, 'Paddy Casey', 'The Bluetones', 'Chris Difford (Squeeze)', 'Goodbooks', 'The Drifters', 'John Power (CAST/The La's)' and 'Nizlopi' 3 times.

Some other highlights over the last 4 years include reaching the final 8 of the 'Sennheiser Best Unsigned Artist 2004' out of 2000 entries, playing the 2005 ASCAP showcase at the London Barfly, having their music in the i-tunes music store, being named artist of the month on the 'Musician's Channel' on Sky and his debut music video played daily. They recently won 3 regional awards for live performance at 'The Mag Awards'.

Their music has been used on the soundtrack of Channel 4 hit show Ny-Lon, they have recorded in Metropolis Studio, London and have had a twelve-day session in Ibiza and recently had five tracks heavily featured in episodes of Channel 4's "Hollyoaks".

In 2006, Dlugokecki released a collection of Studio Recordings called 'Before The Storm'. In 2007, The recent 'How Do You Do?' tour was a massive success - with Dlugokecki performances at the top of the Spinnaker Tower, Old Trafford, Stonehenge, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The Ferry across the Mersey and at 3,200ft at the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales. The tour resulted in a mass media exposure - including segments on BBC Radio and BBC One News. In 2008 the band finished their mini-album 'Let this be Right' which sold 1000 copies in it's first week!

This year Dlugokecki will complete and release their debut album, through independent record label 'And Records'. With over 30 superb songs to choose from it's going to be an enjoyable task and a great year for the band.
