'Singer-songwriter' is not a term embraced by many musicians. Too often the phrase is used to denote generic cliches, excessive emotional angst or middle-of-the-road blandness. But 21-year-old Benjamin Francis Leftwich feels it's far from insulting; 'My songs are personal and acoustic guitar based so why not? I am a singer-song-writer.' With influences including Elliot Smith, The Beatles, Kate Bush & Ryan Adams amongst others. Last year saw the release of his critically acclaimed top forty debut album 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm'.
