Is he the singer who raps or the rapper who sings? Either way he’s the UK Soul sensation who’s been causing ripples across the music scene with his second album The Defamation of Strickland Banks thrust him into the spotlight with a number 1 album in the UK and a top 10 album here in Ireland.
The album tells the tale of Strickland Banks, an invention of Plan B (Ben Drew) a sharply dressed soul singer for whom after falling in love everything goes wrong and ends up in prison falsely accused of a crime that wasn’t his. The concept album has driven critics wild and the Olympia gig, on Feb 28th 2011, will be the perfect chance for you to see why.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 9am, as always and will cost €33.50 inc booking fee
Here’s a video of his most recognisable tune recent single ‘She Said’ being performed on French TV.
Love that track. Might look into going along to his gig.
