Ben Howard wows Plymouth Pavilions crowd

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. Despite being in an arena, it felt like a tiny venue due to the personal feel to the set.

Paintings and drawings spanning four decades trace the development of his singular technique; the art works all originate from three-dimensional forms constructed from various materials such as paper and card or wire and wood. Vibrant shapes of light are then projected onto these forms, creating unexpected spaces and colours, tones and shadows. Changed lighting transforms...
