In The Open

We say

After the outstanding breakthrough of his debut album last year, Benjamin Francis Leftwich returns with a track that proves his worth as an enduring songwriting force. The album - Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm - went top 20 both sides of the Atlantic, and Ben sold out three UK tours and an entire European tour. In The Open has hit the ground at a sprint, with a Zane Lowe 'Hottest Record In The World', and further Radio 1 plays from Annie Mac and Huw Stephens. Support at 6 Music has come from Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamacq, with Xfm plays from Mary Anne Hobbs and John Kennedy. The ethereal singer's forthcoming UK tour sold out 22,000 tickets at lightning speeds, with Ben embarking on a huge tour of the US and Canada starting in November.

London Gig: October 24, KOKO NW1 (sold out)
