Written by Elliott Batte
22 year-old singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich has announced a full October UK tour today, just days after the end of his last UK road-trip.
The York-based star will head out on a 25-date excursion this autumn, which kicks off in Brighton’s Concorde 2 on October 1st and round off at Central Station in Wrexham, with dates in London, Liverpool, Manchester and many more in-between.
Leftwich released ‘Pictures’ earlier this month, as well as a brand new music video, which you can see below. The track featured on hit US drama Grey’s Anatomy, and managed to garner over 650,000 views in just one week.
Benjamin’s debut EP and top 40 album 'Last Smoke before the Snowstorm' was cited as Album of the Week on Radio 1 and XFM as well as Album of the Day on BBC 6 Music. His debut single 'Box Of Stones' was also awarded the coveted Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World, adding to a list of honours including multiple Radio 1 Record Of The Weeks and a Maida Vale session with Fleet Foxes.
If you’re a fan of the folk and indie star, make sure you don’t miss him this October. For tickets and full tour details, check below.
