Biography
This offering comes from last year''s Acoustic Guitarist Of TheYear. Although mostly acoustic based... natch... this collection is littered with different flavours and moods, all employed to excellent effect. Not only can he play a mean geetar, he''s also got a top voice, somewhere between Peter Gabriel and lan Anderson. It Won''t Be Today is one of the best examples of the more traditional styles Ben adopts. It indudes a very accessible melody along.with a gob-iron and an acoustic riff that sees harmonics being incorporated into a more traditional finger-style. Through With You is far more modern in both approach and feel but no less impressive. There''re instrumentats and more off the wall arrangements too, but all display that unmistakeable touch of class that secured Ben the title just under a year ago. The production of the entire CD is excellent - just the right mix of hi-fi sheen and organic feel - and adds a real professional taste. We''ll be updating, yoa as to Ben''s moves a''ftd if he plays anywhere near you. it''s worth going along to see and hear him. For now listen to his track on the Guitarist CD. Contact: 01934 626590
