One Shot Not

It's done.

Filmed 3 months ago as Ben was supporting Fink tour in Paris (at l'Alhambra), tonight was the night for people to discover Ben Howard as a real artist on TV, thanks to Manu Katche" One Shot Not

The show was not dedicated to him but he started it. 3 parts in the show:
- one backstage interview with the beautiful interviewer of the show (they never say her name)
- one rehearsal where you could see that Fink was even more nervous than Ben (and believe me, Ben was stressed during the first song)
- 2 songs : Three Tree Town and These Waters that are athe beginning of this video

This is Ben, so this was good. Manu gave him almost 15 mns, which is huged in such a show. And the video they made of him singing were amazingly good

To be perfectly honest, the first performance was not his best one. I mean for those who have seen Ben in live event, he is usually much more impressive. The second songs was far better.

Still, Ben can be even better. You can see it on the several videos on youtube.

So let's say that the show was very impressive for an unsigned artist, but stake may have been to high for Ben, stress was there and conditions were not perfect

He is learning the job :) (yea ok I'm an old guy, and this point of view may sounds strange from a fan..but believe me, he can do better)

If you meet him, tell him to play "Games in the Dark", "Cloud Nine" or "keep your head up". I know he doesnt like the last one for it's too much a surfer song. Anyway that one of his best.

Hope to see him again at Bataclan with Xavier RUDDD

See you there
