Don't miss Ben Salter, the world's best songwriter! Accompanied by worlds second best songwriter, Renovator's Delight!
What is there left to say about Ben Salter that hasn't already been forgotten, and who cares?
Washed up, middle aged and undeterred, he keeps releasing stuff and touring the world as though nothing has happened - which it hasn't. His entire career.
In any case he's just completed another two month, 17 show tour de farce of Europe (and seen some things) "Bulk Euro", with the New Ben Salter Support Group feat. long suffering partner Julie© on bass plus Conor Macdonald and Bridget Macdonald aka Captain Fighting Machine. That included a Farringdon knees up at the Betsey Trotwood, London; a Birmingham rendezvous with friend and adversary, 19 year old alcoholic super-star Jim E. Brown; fifteen shows across Spain; a moody show in a Berlin kiez with the enigmatic emigre Ned Collette; and a showdown in Stockholm with Gin Club band-mateJan Ola Karlsson and all the lads from heavy psych rockers Grevens Tid. Ooft!
He's back off to MONA Museum for another 6 months in May to hang his head in shame as well as work on more songs and maybe release them because what more can a poor Salt Egg possibly be expected to do?
