Ben Walker was recently hailed as one of ‘the best acoustic guitarists in the world right now’ by Total Guitar magazine and ‘a great guitarist, composer and producer’ by Mark Radcliffe on the Radio 2 Folk Show.
Born in Worcestershire and trained in classical guitar from a young age, now a BBC Folk Award winner with more than seventy records under his belt as a producer and player, Ben Walker’s signature style has been sought out from punk to Proms, from Rough Trade to the Royal Shakespeare Company. He has built a reputation among his peers for fusing tradition and innovation and for playing like no-one else.
While Ben’s warm, whimsical and virtuosic solo guitar performances regularly delight folk audiences in the UK and further afield, his studio work and his collaborations with the finest of UK folk music enchant and intrigue in equal measure.
