Benjamin Thomas at Resonance FM London Sept 08

Ben Thomas comes from Sweden but he's already a transplanted Londoner taking the London folk scene by storm! Here he does (what my friend Matt calls a picking song) an anthem for the ages. Things which always need saying, esp in our age of speed, greed, Wall Steet and whatchya got! Matt says: it's a dirty Bob Dylan tale. He says tail but I say tale! Hope any of this makes sense ... A big ta to Jason for the video shoot and you can find more Ben Thomas live clips on the the RUGSHORT youtube channel.

Great tune. Found this song by accident while searching for another guy with the same name but I am now most definitely a fan!
