I don't usually post about music and i may be late on the bandwagon here; but i've only recently been introduced to the delights of Ben Howard by my wonderful friend Lizzie.
And i've got to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM.
Strumming on to the scene in 2008 in Devon, his first studio album Every Kingdom is released on 3rd October this year (I will certainly be buying it). He has such a calming tone to his voice and a lovely demeanour that you cant help fall in love with almost instantly.
I have had a lot of trouble choosing a song to share with you all, really really recommend you YouTube him if you like what you hear as he's quite the lyrical genius! My favourite has to be Under The Same Sun, but I thought i would give you a sample of some of his newer stuff too.
When i checked out his European tour dates, i was truly disappointed to discover that they are almost all sold out. (Check if your one of the lucky ones still with a chance to see him here). Unfortunately both my hometown venue, The Ruby Lounge in Manchester and The Bodega in Nottingham where i go to uni are both sold out! It would have been great to see him at either venue as i bet the atmosphere is electric when he plays live. Hopefully he wont leave it too long before he graces us with his presence again. Until then i will have to make do with my iPod...
