Ben Cipolla

Ben Cipolla is a young, singer-songwriter from Wiltshire. He began as a 14 year old busker, and has performed his own music ever since. He was spotted busking in 2012 by Radio 2 presenter Clare Teal, who says he is writing ‘terrific songs’. Ben duetted with Clare Teal at the Marlborough Jazz festival, played alongside Eliza Carthy at the Weymouth Olympic Ceremony and performed at Glastonbury 2014. Ben has also formed an eight-piece band who play a collection of soulful covers, as well as his own material. The Ben Cipolla Band were voted ‘Best Newcomer Of The Year’ by the Marlborough Jazz Festival 2014.

His vocals are like having liquid chocolate dripped in your ears, smooth and rich, a truly spectacular instrument.
