Bennett Wilson Poole

With ‘I Saw A Star…’, Bennet Wilson Poole have produced an album that is as exhilaratingly brilliant and accomplished as their debut. It is as prime an example of high-class, polished, rewarding and entertaining music that you are likely to hear.

Watch the new video from Bennett Wilson Poole for ‘Ask Me Anything’,  inspired by 60s and 70s spy movies, with Oxford’s social enterprise micro-brewery The Tap Social Movement (scene of BWP’s first ever gig, in fact) doubling as a vaguely Kafkaesque den of subterfuge.

This was as good as live music gets.  Analogies with the likes of CSN&Y, The Byrds, The Traveling Wilburys, The Jayhawks, et al. are/will be inevitable, but don’t be fooled, tonight we witnessed original, euphoric, exhilarating British Americana music of the highest standard, played with unbridled enjoyment by musicians so obviously empathetic to each other.

Bennett Wilson Poole is as pure a slab of joyous Americana as you could wish to hear – Assured, cohesive and above all, a thoroughly accomplished musical delight of the highest quality. Destined to be a landmark release in the annals of the genre.
