Ben Goddard

Ben Goddard has spent the last three years of his life trying to tour and make friends with people he meets. He uses a strummed guitar and a soft vocal lilt to lure you in. Once ensnared by a web of warm, friendly, genuine behaviour and honest, soulful singing you'll fall for him just enough for a little smile to creep across your face. Don't worry though, he'll still care and if he can he'll call the morning after too to check you got home ok.
