Click here to view the embedded video. We’re recording a live album on the Man (hat on) tour. Nothing fancy, just unedited live gigs in houses and offices recorded with an iPhone mic and maybe a line out of the back of my amp. Recording it is the easy bit. ...

I'll be playing some songs for my friends, family, tweeps, geek brotherhood, Flickr posse, muso dudes and you.
I've asked the best possible ever band for this gig to play too. It's a surprise. But you will smile and possibly even jig spontaneously with excitement when you see them.
Entry is free (of course – it's the bac...k room of the Gardeners), but if you bring some pocket money you might be lucky enough to leave with a tour t-shirt. Or even a WINKYFACE t-shirt! Seriously!
Bring your friends (but only the ones you like). It's 7:30pm for an 8pm start, and there's no food. What do you think this is – some sort of Dinner and Songs From The Shows For Only £43 (plus VAT)? So eat before.
Oh, and this is Facebook. So you can invite other people with pretty much zero effort. Just saying.

Ben Walker As promised, the screen printing video from the weekend. I kid you not, screen printing is literally the most AWESOME magical spell I've ever seen cast in real life. I was so excited I whipped off my trousers and printed WINKYFACE on them. ;)

For the Man (hat on) tour we wanted to make some t-shirts by hand. I had no idea how. So I called on Nick Gill, who always seems to be able to print one thing on another. He printed the logo on a letter press and threw in a WINKYFACE for good luck. ...
Ben Walker We screen printed 50 t-shirts for the Man (hat on) tour yesterday. Here are some photos. Video on the way... WINKYFACE

Ben Walker Sorting out a venue for an Oxford gig on the 22nd. Likely to be the Gardeners Arms in Jericho. More details as they arrive...
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. ...
