Not strictly a band, as it was mainly one bloke, but that's where the comparisons with Daniel Beddingfield end! Only ever had one album out, and about 5 singles from that, but I managed to see him play a live acoustic set once, which didn't really show how good the album is. His record company also made the mistake of trying to market him as a trendy 20-something, when in reality he was about 35. Still, music is music, and this guy writes really good songs that are...hard to pigeon-hole. "Ambient world music" is probably the best description, although some tracks do lean towards upbeat acoutica. If you can find it, buy it and I guarantee a pleasant time for all!

Yeah. Some numbnut had the fantastic idea of licensing it for the soundtrack to that awful Avengers film. No wonder no-ones ever heard of him!

I remember 'Many Weathers Apart' - if that's what it was called. Was a great track.

There y'go. He used to have a neat little Flash site, but now it's gone all minimalist. No samples either, shame.
