Benji is a top class act! Playing a variety of songs throughout the decades that range from sing-a-long songs to more chilled acoustic sounds! Good at reading a room and knowing how to work an audience. I've seen him at some of my Open Mics that I host at The Lion in Cliftonwood and he always goes down really well! Would recommend him to anyone looking for some great entertainment for their pub/event!

Ben hit off our BBF event and it was the perfect way to start the evening. He had a lovely chilled set which matched the vibes of the night perfectly and our patrons really enjoyed singing along. He came to us with professionalism and a lovely attitude and all of us at the White Bear really enjoyed having him! We've got a few more live music nights planned with Ben and will be sure to book more in the future as well.
