Description

Having released the debut album 'Gold Has Worn Away' with his new power trio - Benji Kirkpatrick & The Excess - in 2019, Benji strips it all back for a purely acoustic performance. With a mastery of multiple instruments, he brings well-crafted songs of social commentary, personal exploration and environmental concern.

Well known as a rhythmic driver of such folk acts as Bellowhead and Faustus, Benji has been at the forefront of the folk and roots scene for many years, appearing alongside the likes of Seth Lakeman, Oysterband and Maddy Prior as well as recently being drafted into the line-up of folk-rock legends, Steeleye Span. With a smattering of songs from Benji's 2015 acoustic re-imagining of music by his first musical icon 'Hendrix Songs', this will be a rare chance to see this fretboard wizard up close and personal.
Sometimes contemporary, sometimes splendidly 70s, all new songs and a breath of fresh air.
Nick Dalton, Record Collector, of 'Gold Has Worn Away'.

Gold Has Worn Away is a dynamic and powerful roots-rock album for our age - David Kidman, Fatea.

Description

Green Note was founded by two friends and passionate music lovers who wanted to create their ideal place to hang out in London...

Our dream was to create a place where we could share music that we loved – somewhere with a laid back, intimate and friendly atmosphere. Becoming friends in our school days, the seed for our idea was planted many years ago. After lots of hard work, many ups and downs, and learning more than we ever could have imagined along the way, our dream became a reality when Green Note opened its doors in the Summer of 2005. Now in our fourteenth year, we have established a reputation as one of London’s best spots for roots, world and acoustic music, and we’re constantly astonished by the wealth of incredible musicians who grace our stage. We’re really proud of what we have created, and happy to be able to share it with you.
