Featured Artist - Benjamin Folke Thomas 
"...captures the spirit of Greenwich Village Circa 1965...a convincing calling card"
The Sunday Times
"Stands out like Oliver Reed at an AA meeting"
Will Hodgkinson, The Guardian
"Folke Thomas's song Dusty Part of Heaven is an instant classic,
and he is a remarkably elegant and stylish guitarist"
Oxford Times
"...each song has its own distinct identity, richly
concocted with a maturity that belies the author’s tender years, and
framed perfectly by an experienced and well-drilled backing band"
Rock'n'Reel
"...six tracks that go by like fresh water and at the end it is a pleasure to start all over again" 7/8
Blow Up Magazine
"... one of the most exciting new talents I’ve heard in a long time." 4/5
Maverick
Starting his musical career as drummer in a grunge band…
…his life
was transformed when he heard Kurt Cobain singing ‘In The Pines’ on the
Unplugged record. Steeping himself in Leadbelly, Bob Dylan, and Leonard
Cohen, by the age of 20 he was an excellent finger-picker, confident
performer, and mature songwriter. Jaded Londoners didn’t know what had
hit them when they first heard songs like ‘Paradise Lost (Heaven
Found)’, and saw this robust performer with a stage presence recalling
the Bob Dylan of two decades ago.
