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.

"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."
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.
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
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!
wonderous wonder, art and music is tapping on the egg shell, fuck knows whats inside but its magnetic, irresistable. whats inside....? death? death of what? the harder you tap the further you get. but be warned. madness hunts the hunter. all the prizes of the universe may lie beyond the shell wall, but there are many already here, take what you see or try for more? the closer you are the more intense and confusing your inner world may be. you become soup, scrambled messages, a jittering mess compared to the slumbering romantiscised offering you were before. within that soup lies order, within that order the eggshell dissolves!
Hi Ben, hope you're well. Just lettin you know we're playing a half hour set at katie fitzgeralds this thursday 13th supporting highway dave for the acoustic society if you're about. No worries if you can't make it but it'd be great to catch up. Regards, Amit - Mellow Peaches

so it's flowers and chocolates, seven kinds of spice, frozen over cold if she says that I'm too nice...... see easy to remember the words of a good song!!!
