Benjamin Francis Leftwich Hits The Road



Benjamin Francis Leftwich has confirmed a number of headline British shows later this year.

The current glut of acoustic bearing nu-folksters shows no signs of abating. Following the path of Mumford & Sons, major labels seem content to sign anyone with a waistcoat and a bit of a beard.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich emerged at the tail end of last year, with a neat line in delicate songcraft. Surrounded in hype, a massive headline tour helped push his track 'Pictures' in the public consciousness.

Finally set to gain a single release, 'Pictures' is already a radio staple. Due to drop on February 20th, Benjamin Francis Leftwich will play a number of dates around the nation to accompany the single.

Watch the video for 'Pictures' below...
