Benji Kirkpatrick

Benji Kirkpatrick is a musician and songwriter, founding both folk big band Bellowhead, and acclaimed folk trio, Faustus.

Not only that, he’s toured extensively with folk legends Maddy Prior and Seth Lakeman too. And now he visits Lyme Regis.

With Bellowhead announcing in June 2015 that they were to split up, this show is a special opportunity to see Benji live in an intimate setting.

Join him as he reinterprets the songs of Jimi Hendrix on banjo, mandolin and bouzouki, stripping back the layers, and peeling open the psychedelia of the era to reveal the songs in their purest form.

Remembered for his pioneering, exceptional ability as a guitarist, on (and off) stage antics, Hendrix’s legacy extends to a wealth of legendary material. In his own individual style, Benji interprets Hendrix like you’ve never heard him before.
