Sun 25th Feb - Ben's been busy

So then, what's been going on in Kingtideland? Well, quite a lot, actually. Work is still happening on the album, oh yes, and there's probably going to be an EP as well with more songs on it. But since Ben gave up working for The Man there's been all sorts going on.

There's been a collaboration with Circle 3 songwriter Paul Ryan with Ben playing guitars, programming drums and singing BVs on 6 new songs.

There's an ongoing collaboration with Chris Bucin (better known as Sixthline) with Ben co-producing and playing guitars, bass and midi-gubbins on a few songs including the fantastic Emergency Exits. Hear it at www.myspace.com/sixthline

But the biggest of the projects has been Ben's work engineering and co-producing blues-folk (soon to be) superstar Ben Clempson's album for Pillar Box Records. It's all quite exciting, with guest starts including Shanade Morrow, Andy Cutting from Kate Rusby's band and Nizlopi's John Parker. And it's due for commercial release by autumn. Go to www/myspace.com/benclempson to hear some work in progress tracks.

A lie down is surely due.
