Hey People,

To follow what is looking set to become a fantastic night down at Brixton Jamm in January supporting Hot Chip, we are pleased to announce that we have been offered a slot playing at the OFFICIAL AFTER SHOW PARTY for PRIMAL SCREAM! Same venue, same promoter, same awesome night of music, dancing and frivolities! The evening will culminate with a DJ Set from the one and only MANI of Stone Roses fame, the current Bassist of Primal Scream!

Tickets are selling out rapidly for the January gig so we advise that you get in quick! Tickets can be purchased from me via e-mail or phone and also (to college hall dwellers) from James, George or Lauren.

See you there – you’re not going to want to miss this one.

I am ecstatic (seriously) to introduce the members of my new band, a fine group of outstandingly talented musicians by the names of:

George Jackson (Bass)
James Mould (Guitar)
Chris Bentley (Drums)
and
Lauren Foster (Keyboards)

These guys will be joining me for our first big gig of 2011 (with many more to come!) at Brixton Jamm on Friday 28th January, supporting a hotly anticipated Hot Chip DJ Set. I hope you’re as excited as I am – It’s going to be off the hook.

See you soon

Acoustic Set this Sunday

By bgibbon November 18th, 2010, under General

Hi all,

I’m playing a brief acoustic set this sunday at Bar Vinyl, Camden from 7pm onwards thanks to Zarathustras promotions. It’s a really nice venue with great acoustics and a varied but affordable cocktail menu so if you’re not busy then come on over! It’s free entry!

Hope to see you then,

Ben

By bgibbon July 15th, 2010, under General

Hey,

This is literally news as it happens – I’ve just been booked to support Klaxons on the 31st at Dirty South in Lewisham, a venue famous for the development of new acts into major stars. Among recent and upcoming performances include Babyshambles and Bombay Bicycle Club.

I have tickets for the special discounted price of £10 if bought in advance – call me on 07717834922. Need lots of support for this one please so tell your friends, although it’s not a hard one to sell on this occasion!

Love Ben xxx

Thanks for the amazing turnout at The Troubadour Club!

By bgibbon July 14th, 2010, under General

Sorry for the delay in updating the site, it’s been a really busy time recently including a smaller gig at The Good Ship in June and the massive success that was the Troubadour Club performance last week! I just wanted to thank everybody who made it such a great night – I think even the venue were shocked that an opening solo artist could fill half the club with support and we definitely made the atmosphere of the evening! The reception of the (extremely) new song Lenses, written literally the night before, was also fantastic and I have just finished recording a demo to be uploaded shortly. There are now some photos from last week’s gig in the photo section above and I also have a video of Colours which I will upload shortly too.

Once again, thanks enormously for all your kind support and watch this space for the next date!

Don’t forget the date of my next show is the 27th of June at The Good Ship in Kilburn.

Update: Gig Postponed

By bgibbon April 19th, 2010, under General

Hi,

My Gig at The Good Ship Kilburn has been moved to the 27th of May due to a double booking (it happens). Please try and make it if you can! Hopefully, I might have got back home from the US by then too…
