If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’ll know that I’ve been planning a New York Tour around the 2nd Beatles Complete On Ukulele festival on 5/6 December. Xander, Miranda and I are forming a crack team of creative geeks and booking a week’s worth of house concerts and office gigs. It’s c...
Steve Lawson came up with a(nother) great idea recently: Office Gigs. They are like house concerts but in an office...
When you find yourself watching videos about procrastination rather than getting on with stuff you start to worry. And when you start to worry the only way forward is to get off your arse and do your thing, whatever that may be...
Becca I actually can't get your Hugh F-W song out of my head. Is there some kind of antidote? xx
Darbucka is a venue like no other. It’s not the great food, the funky cushions and low tables or the fact that Steve Lawson plays his crazy and wonderful solo bass looping magic down there. It’s the silence. Th...
Steve Lawson Gig tonight at Darbucka in London with Lobelia, Ben Walker and Lloyd Davis - srsly, don't miss it. Link to event page is on my artist page (click the piccie of me over there on the left :) )
Ben Walker playing a gig today in a market full of trendoids in Shoreditch. Is 'Dressing Up' on the set list? Our survey says... *ding* ;)
View Larger Map Jont is running a series of Sunday gigs at (Up)market, an outdoor market just off Brick Lane. The gig runs from 1-6pm, and there are four or five acts playing at each one. I’m playing this afternoon (probably around 4pm), and again next week. ...
I woke up humming Rescue Me by Fontella Bass this morning, so I recorded a quick version of it. I always thought Fontella Bass was a band name, but it turns out it’s a person. What a great name, and what a great voice. ;)
On the way back to Oxford on Friday we stopped in at Xander’s parents’ house, where I found myself trying to explain what TEDxTuttle was. “It’s a combination of TED and Tuttle”, I said. “Oh.” On Saturday I ran into Wes and Dave (fellow Torchboxers) at Greens Café. “So what exac...
Ben Walker Recording the second episode of the Poshcast today. Appropriately hungover after playing Oleg's wedding party last night.
I believe that music is artistically valuable, culturally necessary, beautiful, joyous, human and magical. I believe that the music I make brings happiness and light to the people around me, the people who engage with it online, and of course to me...
I’m at River Cottage HQ this weekend playing under a hand-made A-frame awning to the wonderful people of the Autumn Fair. It’s like the best village fête ever. The...
There was an awful fuss last week about a company that analyzed Twitter and decided that 40% of it was ‘babble’. As it turns out, their client Philtro is a piece of software that filters Twitter, and their methods of analysis were laughable. To...
Ben Walker flattered to have been featured on Karunya Keshav's new Free Culture site. The video makes me seem vaguely erudite (even if the hair makes me look more foppish than ever ;).
