Brit Award Winning, Ben Howard wowed the crowds at his homecoming show last night at Plymouth Pavilions.

Two hours of awe-inspiring music, backed by his five-piece band. A man of few words, captivated the crowd by playing tracks from his two albums ‘Every Kingdom’ and his recently released ‘I Forgot Where We Were’ which was released in October last year. He opened the show with ‘Am I In Your Light?’, one of his lesser known, darker tracks, which set the tone for the night.
