Details of Ben Watt Trio
Artist / Band
Details
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. 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 Guardian's leading rock critic Alexis Petridis picked it as the "one album you should hear this week", saying "it's 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: you'd 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.
