Bantham Legend I agree mate! It seems like he likes keeping a really low profile this time round! At least back with IFWWW he had live videos of solo acoustic performances, either way this music still continues to grow on me.. less about the Ben fan base, but more about the appreciation of the experimental side.. really inspires me to do some crazy things with my music 😉 my first song "Through the wind" was a huge success so maybe there's more behind the wall 😉

I think you're right, he's definitely rinsing off the main stream fanboys. But he has to realise that half the interest in his music is guitarists that want to play what he's playing. He's already established that he's pretty unique in what he does, or at least is single highhandedly leading on from where John Martyn left off. It'd be great if he'd just engage his audience a bit more, like Kristian Matsson (Tallest Man On Earth) is doing at the moment. Have you written any more songs recently? Covers on my channel are getting more views than tutorials these days, so maybe its time to put pen to paper and put out some of my own songs. Might be going busking next week...!

That would have been great ;(

Bantham Legend he said maybe one day he will get into social media and find a way to be more creative through that, but it doesn't seem to help him these days so he doesn't bother.. and we should still plan this little due busking trip around York! I completely forgot and got caught up in alot over the years, but I would love to come over there and do a few shows with you mate

Kyle Cullen I'm taking my daughter busking next week and I'll play a few songs too, but yeah, a Collab is long overdue :)

dale bentham Ben Howard would be alongside my 70's generation beloved singer-songwriters', James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Jonathan Edwards' and his song "Sunshine", purest talent, you can strip it all down and it's still so beautiful!...

Oooooh I lovelovelove him too

Ben's style has always brought John to me magical💖

Exactly! Only 1 week now!

Hadrien his guitar does have effects on it.

you're saying "i love that u are experimenting, ben, but please don't experiment" lol

Hadrien I don’t think he has effects on his vocal in this performance.

The song, as well as many others on Noonday Dream may sound congested on cheap audio hardware, but with a decent source and headphones/speakers you will find this is not the case. The album needs room to breath and the vocals will emerge from the wide and varied soundscape strikingly, assuming you are doing it right. If your headphones/speakers cannot create a convincing soundstage then you are really selling the music short.

It took me a bit to get used to his vocal sounds on the new album but im absolutely in love with them. And Balker is right, throw the album front to back through some good speakers or headphones and you will be amazed.
