About Ben Smith

Ben is a Birmingham born songwriter who has been performing and recording for 20 years. His music is an earthy blend of British and American folk styles expressed through rapid fire fingerpicked guitar and a unique heartworn vocal delivery. Often compared to Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle and Shane Macgowan Ben's songs convey the hurts , joys and absurdities of life, often informed by his Welsh/Romany Gypsy heritage.( Ben is a direct descendant of King Esau and Queen Henty of the Black Patch Gypsies.) As a live performer Ben is as much a storyteller as a musician and has delighted audiences around the world.

My Hate Speech3	Feb 4 2008 9:54 AM "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." --Thomas Jefferson Hope your weekend has been good!!!!
David Whitwell	Feb 1 2008 10:30 PM Hey thanks for the text message about 'Carmelita'. It is indeed a fantastic song. Here's one for you too. It's called 'Changes' by Phil Ochs and he duets with Julie Felix, who I met at a political rally a few years ago and I had much fun singing a few songs with her.
Bavarian Country Singers and Comrades	Jan 16 2008 2:38 PM Great evening on Saturday, Ben. I was glad to make it out. Apologies for having to leave early though - buses aren't amenable! But hope the rest of the evening went well. Let us know of your gigs - hoping to bring Andy along to one soon :) xo
Hayley-Jane	Dec 21 2007 1:55 PM Banks...may I say Mr Smith I hate them. For further info see blog, I'm going to recluse this Christmas away with guitar and television whilst cursing the repeats they put on every damn year!
Hayley-Jane	Dec 18 2007 3:02 PM Ben the most moronic thing has happened, I have become able to play the guitar like a normal human being again. It's taken me till now...that is bad.
Dea	Dec 7 2007 11:53 PM Hope you had a great time tonight!
