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.

Four of their biggest shows to date were supporting million-selling artists 'David Gray', 'Snow Patrol', 'Corinne-Bailey Rae' and 'Lu Lu' on their world tours, playing to thousands of people.

They have also played alongside 'Starsailor', 'Ben's Brother', 'Longview', 'Sandi Thom' 3 times, 'Paddy Casey', 'The Bluetones', 'Nerina Pallot', '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 his 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'.

His music has been used on the soundtrack of Channel 4 hit show Ny-Lon, he has recorded in Metropolis Studio, London and had a twelve-day session in Ibiza and recently had four 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.

This year Dlugokecki will complete and release his 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.

Because I'm too poor XD
I just blew £180 on a new guitar because it was blue.
And Southampton's a pain for me, I live in winchester and am incompetent when it comes to public transport.
Thanks for the offer though. Some other time.
