Benji Kirkpatrick

b. 1976, Shropshire, Britain. Although he’s a multi-instrumentalist, UK folk musician Kirkpatrick’s favoured device may be the bouzouki. Benji may be the child of renowned British folk music artists John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris, and his access into the documenting business suitably came into being on his dad’s 1994 recording Earthling. Benji consequently created the acoustic music group the Hedgerows and toured around the united kingdom and European countries, before releasing his solo profession in 1998 with Dance In The Darkness. The album confirmed his multi-instrumental features, with bouzouki, electric guitar and mandolin all towards the fore on the lively outing. During this time period Kirkpatrick co-founded the acclaimed Dr. Faustus and in addition caused Magpie Street, the Oysterband, and his dad’s five-piece ceilidh music group, Mr. Gubbins’ Bike. In 2004 he helped co-found another highly regarded young music group, Bellowhead, and finished the documenting of his second single album. HALF OF A Fruits Pie was a significant stage on from Kirkpatrick’s debut, using a preponderance of first compositions and a far more fluid playing design on present. Kirkpatrick’s concurrent use folk modern Seth Lakeman spilled over onto his third record, 2008’s Boomerang, which chosen a far more radio friendly strategy and was significant for not offering any traditional materials.
