ben howard - brixton academy

I promise this is the last time I will blog about Ben Howard for a while cos I feel like I'm starting to verge on obsessed! 

So the other week, my flatmate Holly and myself travelled to Brixton academy, with out last minute tickets to see our favourite Ben. I'm not just saying this cos I'm an avid Ben Howard fan, but it really was one of the best gigs I've ever been too. The music was brilliant, Ben's voice is just as good live as it is on his records and he also knows how to put on a good show. He is actually quite funny in real life. He played a whole range of songs, from classics like 'The Wolves' and 'The Fear' and  my favourite 'Gracious' to his new EP which features songs such as 'Oats in the Water' and 'Esmerelda'. The night was amazing and I would recommend anyone if they get the chance to go see him live. You won't be disappointed.


I will leave you with my Ben Howard song of the day, his amazing cover of Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark.

Enjoy xx
