WELCOME TO BEN COOPER AT ISOUND
Ben Cooper is a singer songwriter that has been performing, recording, and releasing material that he has written (and co-written), since the 80's.
He spent most of 2006 showcasing his material acoustically playing many club gigs and 2 summer festivals - all very well received.
The music is a blend folk, blues, pop, chillout, and dance.
Ben started out drumming with the band he formed "Restless”, - arguably the greatest Neo’ Rockabilly band ever. The band built its fan base in the with supports with bands The Clash, The Damned, the Ramones etc - huge cult status followed. Over the years the band has sold 100’s of thousands of records, and played around the world.
Ben decided to leave Restless in the 90’s to follow his own musical path (with a complete change of direction), getting serious industry interest along the way.
He was then asked to rejoin Restless for a reunion tour in 2002 initially for a year - the band continued for the next 4 years due to high demand. Highlights of which there were many included touring with Rock'n'Roll legend Little Richard, and playing a set with rock god Robert Plant. He left the band (again), to go solo last year.
When asked about recent events Ben said "All the progress I have made so far has totally been the result of my acoustic performances. I've only been solo since 2006 and already people are sitting up and taking notice. I must be doing something right"!
