Ben Walker
Fri 1st May 09 at 8:00pm
Oxford singer-songwriter and Twitter sensation Ben Walker has created a worldwide following on the internet with his quirky, satirical songs. In 2008 alone, he wrote 50 songs in 90 days, conducted live video songwriting sessions on the internet, and 250,000 YouTube viewers watched his song You’re No One If You’re Not On Twitter, which has become the unofficial anthem of Twitter worldwide.

A modern-day bard playing the piano and guitar, backed by bass and drums, and joined by many special guests, Ben is bringing the art of pop songwriting back to Summertown. Filled with beautiful piano, catchy beats, classic harmonies and witty lyrics, Ben’s songs explore the characters closest to his heart, including the North Oxford greenie, the lovelorn geek, the frustrated trendoid, and celebrity meat-lover Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. This is pop music in the best possible sense.

In the spirit of the global techno-communication that has propelled Ben Walker into the hearts of his fans, Ben’s Big Gig will be streamed live over the internet and screens in the venue will display real-time messages, photos and videos from around the world.
Cutting edge technology and pop music sensibility. It doesn’t get any better than Ben Walker.
