Beskrivning
After twenty years as joint singer-songwriter and primary instrumentalist in Everything But The Girl, and ten as an international DJ and label owner with Buzzin’ Fly, Ben Watt returned to his singer-songwriter folk-rock roots in April this year with an acclaimed new solo album, ‘Hendra’ - his first since his cult classic ‘North Marine Drive', thirty-one years ago.
Following UK dates in April and summer tours of the US, Japan and Australia, he returns to the road in the UK and Ireland in October with a new variation on his recent live line-ups.
The Ben Watt Trio sees Watt on vocals, guitars and electric piano, joined by two of his key album-collaborators - lead guitarist and recent tour constant, Bernard Butler (Suede, Trans, Bert Jansch), plus drummer and percussionist, Martin Ditcham (Talk Talk, The Waterboys, Sade).
‘Hendra’ has attracted widespread four and five-star reviews from the likes of Mojo, Q and The Guardian. The Guardian¹s leading rock critic Alexis Petridis picked it as the “one album you should hear this week”, saying “as a demonstration of Watt’s songwriting prowess, ‘Hendra’ is pretty much perfect.” The Line of Best Fit remarked, “It’s poignant, yet unsentimental and completely overwhelming: you¹d need a heart of stone not to resist its impact” while Resident Advisor called it “an always beautiful, sometimes stunning album”.
Expect recent songs and vintage gems.
