  <title>Ben Howard + Willy Mason at Rock City, Nottingham on 22 Nov 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Rock City

Ben Howard is an English singer-songwriter, born in London. He moved to Devon in his teens and is currently signed to Island Records and Communion Records.

Howard was raised by musical parents who exposed him to lots of their favourite records from singer-songwriter artists from the 1960s and 1970s, such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, which were a big influence on him.

After attending King Edward IV Community College and Torquay Boys' Grammar School and then a short stint studying Journalism at University College Falmouth, Cornwall, Ben decided to focus on making music full time, making melodic rootsy folk music, with progressively darker lyrics. He began to build up a reputation not just around Devon, but elsewhere in the UK as well. After a month of sold out dates across Europe and the UK Howard was eventually asked to sign to Island Records.

Because of the label's history of UK folk singers, including Nick Drake and John Martyn, Ben decided to sign. With singles "Old Pine", and "The Wolves" released already in 2011, he has recorded an album entitled Every Kingdom for the label, which was released on 6 October, 2011.

With support from the exceptional 'Willy Mason']]></description>

  <title>Ben Howard + Willy Mason at O2 Academy Birmingham, Birmingham on 24 Nov 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: O2 Academy Birmingham

Birmingham Promoters present:
Ben Howard + Willy Mason
Sat 24 Nov @ O2 Academy, Birmingham
Tickets available from http://bit.ly/95LEUq

******************************

BEN HOWARD

After two sold-out Birmingham shows, a top ten album and two completely sold-out UK tours it gives us great pleasure to welcome back….Ben Howard!

Dark and alluring on tape, and creating a unique live story before the story’s truly yet begun, Ben Howard is deserving of the acclaim as a captivating, unique and clever young British songwriter. ‘Every Kingdom’ is the debut album that Ben has been brewing for the last couple of years. Its careful attention to detail, with tight, homespun harmonies and folk-informed arrangements, could only have been fully realised after relentless road-testing of these songs on stages across the UK and Europe.

“Chilling and alluring, Ben Howard’s ‘Every Kingdom’ is an album full of promise.” – Leeds Music Scene

“…the finest young singer/songwriter in the UK right now” – Addict Music

Check out the video for ‘The Wolves’:

******************************

WILLY MASON

Willy Mason is an American singer/songwriter signed to Conor Oberst’s label Team Love. He has had two top 40 UK albums, toured with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Kweller and Radiohead, played such festivals as the Glastonbury Festival and South by Southwest, and collaborated with The Chemical Brothers on their chart topping album ‘We Are The Night’.

“With the lazy weariness of Tom Waits and the inflection of John Lennon, Mason makes every line he sings something worth listening to, something worth remembering.” – All Music Guide

“Masterful and poignant, it reveals Mason to be a heavyweight talent.” – Q Magazine

Check out the video for ‘Save Myself’:
