Ben writes Magicfolk material with Michelle, and together they produce and arrange all of the Magicfolk songs. Ben has a keen ear for harmonies and musical configurations, and also plays keyboards and guitar, and if you're really lucky, he'll get his ewi out... He comes from a background in blues, classical, folk and rock music and has always wanted his own orchestra… His many influences range from Bowie, Brubeck to Jimi Hendrix. He’s also been around the theatrical scene, which is where he met Michelle (she was attacking him with two rapiers at the time). He has several other ongoing musical projects at the moment including composing music for theatre and film - as part of the Lemontiger sound design outfit. Ben also likes brightly coloured drums, old synths, ethnic samples and cats.
