BEN WATT TRIO announce UK tour this October....
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.
Following UK dates in April and summer tours of the US, Japan and Australia, he returns to the road in the UK and Ireland in October with a new variation on his recent live line-ups.
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, Uncut, Q and The Guardian. The Guardian’s leading rock critic Alexis Petridis said ‘As a demonstration of Watt’s songwriting prowess, ‘Hendra’ is pretty much perfect.’ Resident Advisor called it ‘an always beautiful, sometimes stunning album’ and current single 'Forget' is A Listed on Radio 2.
