I've just discovered a backstage interview by FINK and Ben HOWARD last october when they both recorded "One Shot Not" (the video show of Manu Katche on Arte.tv)
The video is there
You won't learn much if y'oure a fan, but it's still worth a look. You shall learn about his "plan" : the famous album

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

Ben Howard's 2010
Hi there,
Happy new year to every one. And it's going to be ZE year for Ben, starting with
- 28/01/2010: a song at One Shot Not, a French-German music show led by Manu Katche (famous jazz-pop-rock drummer from the 80's and 90s, look at your old albums from Sting, Peter Gabriel, Dire Straits, Tears for Fears and so many others)
- Spring 2010: A European tour with once again another brilliant artist Xavier RUDD. Some of you may actually have discovered Ben'stalent during some of Xavier show last year
- Summer 2010: signature of an Album
- End of 2010: first single out :)
As we say in France, I don't usually say it, but Ben I tell you "merde" (that means good luck... sisi)
See you
