Wow Benny ... We love your music. Watchng you play guitar is mesmarising, so beautiful (and can imagine the time it took to edit this video). From Donovan to Nick Drake and Steve Hillage your sound world takes us to new levels. Amazing. Thank You xx
OH Benny, you absolutely blow me away with your musical genius! I love how you manage to merge all of your instruments into your songs. Thought it was brilliant how you were able to harmonize with yourself too 👍🏻🙂 I was a teenager in the 60’s, so your psychedelic folk songs really resonate with me and take me back to that happy place that I once knew. What I really love about your music, is that it creates a calm and happy place for one to retreat to when all around us is just so chaotic! Keep up the wonderful work, I know that many others will appreciate your music as well. Congratulations on your new album. I wish you every success in your musical journey. Take care, and have a great weekend! Blessings to you & Emily, and of course Allan too🐈⬛💕🇨🇦
That is such a beautiful album Benny, you have a genius for blending instrumental tracks together to give a whole new perspective as you did on Distant Fable. I loved the influence of the Indian sound from adding in the shruti box (probably spelt wrong😂) I will now order a hard copy of the album, but have really lost myself in the calming sounds of your music. You should be rightfully proud of this work. Congratulations xx
Really enjoyed listening to the album online, and now seeing you perform on the boat, makes me want to listen again. Love the bird song at the beginning, and the Indian sounds. Thank you.
Your sound remids of The Incredible String Band , they were a cult duo in the sixties They were fond of Asian instruments and vocal styles. Just to add, I love the weekly updates. Life afloat is interesting, and i get there is a sense of freedom and bohemian vibes. Im looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Regsrds to you, Emily, and sweetiepie Alan. ❤
Hi Benny, I’ve taken a deep dive on your 3 solo albums, and I don’t mean to sound patronising, but I hope you realise how staggeringly gifted you are. You’re an exceptional songwriter, great all round musician and your singing is a versatile instrument in itself. I really couldn’t pick a favourite, but I would probably favour your first and new album over number 2 by a fag paper. I just know that this is music I will be listening to when I’m an old boy. I can hear some points of reference in your sound from Bowie and Neil young, but also hear elements of the early Verve and Jack Bruce’s songs for a tailor, but it always resoundingly comes through as you. Just a few favourites- inventors marvellous painting, rowing instead,rowing instead, making yourself real,castle of our lives - soaring in blew my head off - epic. Thanks for the music x
Thank you so much Lee this is fantastic to hear and very inspiring for me. I headed back and listened to some of these older songs , thinking of integrating old and new into my next set..
Hi Benny--I just now purchased your Chrysalis CD and look forward to receiving it soon in Seattle, WA USA. I really love the variety of musical instruments of Distant Fable. and Chrysalis. Very cool musical vibes! 🐛🦋🎹🎸🎷🪘🪕🪗🎶 You are truly a gifted musician! Jenny
Just received my hard copy of chrysalis. Great tunes - wonderfully crafted. Listened to it three times in one day. I’ve ordered your other solo album cds on the strength of it. I feel privileged to be the owner of something so rare and beautiful, thanks
Benny, as I've said prior; you are an amazing artist.⚘👍 your music is memorize, beautiful and allows one to drift away. Stunning, Benny 😊👍⚘❣ Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us all. Take great care and I know Emily is so Proud of you.⚘⚘⚘😊👍❣❣❣
Wow! Your latest album, Chrysalis and the previous two are on Spotify! That's both an endorsement and a risk. But I bought a Chrysalis cd from Bandcamp which arrived in just four days. Love playing it when I'm taking a bath ... very calming. Thanks, Benny.
Absolutely beautiful Benny! 💜 Sooooo soothing! I downloaded on Spotify this morning and listened at work. Just glorious. I hope to order the CD. 🙏🙌🙌🙌💚💚💚
Wow, I have no real experience with folk music. I am amazed with your talent and use of it to make music. I HAVE NO musical talent, just making a joyful noise. thank you. Blessings
Excellent... Very trippy. You'll be getting yourself a Hurdy Gurdy or a Symphony next. I have thought about building one myself. I used to play the clarinet and could never get on with the flute, but I love the sound of a low D whistle!
Really lovely Benny, what a joy to listen to and watch you perform some of your music. Ordered the CD and looking forward to it. I know it’s going to be my summer of 24 anthem.
ohyeh! come on Benny big up your music! dwag! grab your shruuti box and some home made beer lets hit some folk festivals and dont forget some extrad d strings and patchwork waistcoats we're gonna need them baby!
That was absolutely delightful, in every sense of the word! You are an amazing young man, and I am privileged to be able to listen to your beautiful mind.
Congrats on the album release Benny! I think you've really found your vibe with these new tunes. Really good instrumentation and vocals.. vocal melodies. Well constructed and crafted. Get a mooring for a year and get a band together.. get out there and gig, and do festivals.. I really think you would go down so well at festivals with a full band and gain a larger audience. Are you approaching radio stations to get tracks played and possible live sessions? I recently convinced my mate who just released his first single to do so and he got played on bbc 6 music and Pirate fm here in Cornwall. You're a real talent Benny.... time flies on the butterflies wings after it emerges from its chrysalis. All the best Benny 🦋
@@bennyjonesmusic I'm really surprised that no one gets back to you, keep pushing with them tho, you're more than good enough to get some radio play. Try local stations where ever you are at the time.. someone will give you a play. As I have mentioned before.. try tv and film companies to get a track placement also. I'm sure you know well enough how hard it is to get noticed and how much work it takes to get your stuff listened to with millions of others competing, but the music will always shine through if it is good enough... yours is imo. Good luck mate
@@bennyjonesmusic Hi Benny , My Wife and I have been listening to your CD Chrysalis since it arrived . The whole Album is great , well relaxing , Thank You for the note appreciate that , All the best for the Next One ..
That's kinda nice, man. You'd've made a living in the sixties, I reckon. Somewhat reminiscent of The Incredible String Band and Doctor Strangely Strange - minus the whiney voices. I'll be looking out for some more. Nice little Guild, btw. When my mate got his mahogany jumbo, back in the day, I admit I was a little envious.
