Post Description

Being & Nothingness, named after a book by Jean-Paul Satre, but more importantly it also provides the fuel for these song, about time, journeys, mortality and existence.

 Heavy stuff then? Well no, not a bit of it. In fact it’s just the ‘right stuff’ for a folk-blues guitarist and singer-songwriter to be wrestling with. Besides, although it unquestionably adds an extra poignancy to the likes of The Way Things End, Benjamin displays a remarkable lightness of touch, especially with some of the fleetest fingers to ever grace a fretboard. As everything is captured with Mattie Foulds’ accustomed attention to detail, the result is a great CD, a sumptuous feast for guitar fans and a mighty fine collection of songs, existential angst and all.
 Being & Nothingness is self released under the auspices of the Gin House Collective. As Benjamin explains, “This is a collective we put together about a year and a half ago. A few friends and myself were all self-releasing our own records and putting on our own gigs so we decided to give it a name to cover the gigs, EPs & albums we were all playing and recording together anyway. The core of the collective comprises of Spirit Of John (Adam Richards & Josh Sheard), Troy Faid & Dan Beesley and myself. As most of us play in multiple musical projects there are also other bands affiliated with the label but us 4 acts do most of the leg work. So far we’ve put on gigs and released music in such prestigious Leeds venues as The Brudenell Social club and The Holy Trinity Church as well as lots of smaller bars and pubs.”
