Ben on TV again (French one as usual)

Hy There,

So the loving affair between Ben and the French public is still going on. After One Shot Not (which by the way doesn't exist anymore.. sniff) this is Taratata the oldest and most famous TV show dedicated to music in France, that is giving his chance to Ben.

This is happening here , on France 2 on 21st of october (tomorrow night).

You can watch the teaser of this program here.

Ben is going to play at least 2 songs:
- The Wolves (with India, his usual partner)
- Dancing in the Dark from Bruce Springsteen (almost 30 years old song.. damn he surely looks young on this video.. oh by the way the girl you can see on the video is Courtney Cox... yes she was young too)
This second song will be played in duet with the Franco-Israelian singer Yael Naim.

I hope he will also play some of his masterpiecs like Black Flies or The Fear, because if not, it is a bit desappointing

Ben's 2nd week in the UK Top 40 charts

Hy there,

So Ben's just spent his second week in UK TOP 40 . All right... he lost some places (actually 28) and he is now on place 35. Hope this is going to be better next week. We'll see.

See you next sunday for the new figures

Stan

Recent interview of Ben Howard on DIY

Here is one of the latest (9th octobre 2011) interviews of Ben. They seem to be fans too:

Ben Howard: ‘It’s All Me’" Charming, witty and endearingly verbose, we caught up with Ben during recent tour rehearsals

Entering the top 10

This is official, Every Kingdom just entered the top 10 of the UK album official chart . It directly reached place n°7 !!!

This is definitvely cool news, especially on such a competitive market where you do have huge artists (actually you still find Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon in this chart). But hey this is Benjamin !!

Mazel Tov !
