a thousand kisses and a big big hug.
Natalie Clark Barratt Ben, join me as a friend on Fb I just shared your fantastic essay!
I love AudioBoo. It’s a wonderfully simple app, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to use it as a songwriter...
Being good at music is not interesting. It’s boring. As a musician (or any kind of artist) you need to earn people’s attention. It’s not good enough to write good songs, practise for ages and record a good album. It’s not good enough to gig five nights a week...
Ben Walker Miss Cecily is a totally great ukulele-toting singer from Bristol, and I'm playing at her album launch party. ;)

This is a guest post by Xander, who helped me create the gig, and had much more to do with the venue than I did...
Why are you spending time trying to get reviews from local hacks? In this article I look at how you can use social media and real life people skills to create your own reviews from casual audience responses. “Did you see his name in the local paper?”1 You write great songs...

@GarrettC single-handedly produced more digital media from BBG than everyone else put together, and tagged, geotagged, emotagged and otherwise meta-described all of it (mostly at http://www.flickr.com/photos/garrettc). ...
Ben’s Big Gig was ridiculously successful. We sold out a 200-seat theatre and had an online audience of about 300. The sound was great, the people had a good time, 500 Twitter messages floated past on the big screen, and I almost remembered all the lyrics...
River Cottage sent me a photo of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall holding a Ben’s Big Gig poster yesterday. It’s official. Hugh’s is supporting the gig...
Sunshine Beauty - a geek summer anthem from Ben Walker on Vimeo. I’ve had this song kicking around in various states since before Christmas, but since today felt like the first day of summer I decided to finish it off...

That’s right, people. I’ve been keeping a list of songs for which I’ve had tab requests, and this is next. Turn It Off And Turn It On Again, or the Ballad of the I.T. Guy...
When I was learning the guitar I used to spend hours trawling sites like the now-defunct OLGA looking the tab to my favourite songs. It was a great way to get to know different guitarist’s styles, and to show off my skillz...
During rehearsals we like to try out crazy ideas and new arrangements for songs, even if it seems quite obvious how we should approach them. This is my Scary Roundabout version of Box Junction Heart. As you can see, the rest of the band went off to make tea during this one...
Guy J. Jackson, a man who makes me smile every time I see him, performs one of his wonderful and crazy stories (more here).
A short introduction to the Big Gig. As I develop the idea, I’ll post more of my thoughts… The icy wind makes it difficult to hear some of the start, but it gets better. ;o) Cast: Ben Walker

Aren't you "Ihatemornings" on Twitter? Hey I want to make animated slideshows of Olney to post on http://olney100.ning.com. Anything of yours we could used as backing?
Preferably free at this point so if advertising to people over here would suit you??
