Introducing Ben Montague an up and coming pop musician with a diverse approach to pop introducing dynamic rock in to harmonic and rhythmic beats resonating an almost pop punk nostalgia, you never know Ben could be the next revolutionary chart topper!

If the name Ben Montague sounds familiar, that would be because you heard his debut single ‘Haunted’ which became a major radio hit two years ago, and he has just received the accolade of ‘BBC RADIO 2 Album of the week‘ with his new album ‘Tales of Flying & Falling.’

Recorded at Rockfield with producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild, Kylie) ‘Tales Of Flying And Falling’ is a set of songs that make sense together; that document a relationship that was right, went wrong, then came right again. “This was always my dream – to make an album with one producer, in one studio,” says Ben. “To take my time and make sure every song sounded as good as it could. Working with Dave was amazing. He’s a rock guy; I write pop songs. We bonded over old-school desks and old-school mics and a love of authentic, epic music.”

‘Tales of Flying and Falling’ was released on 21st January and was immediately made Radio 2’s Album of the Week.
Ben, who was the main support for The Wanted & Lawson on their UK Arena Tour in 2012, has just finished a full UK theatre tour with Amy Macdonald, and has supported the likes of James Walsh, The Lighthouse Family and The Stereophonics. Ben will be relentlessly hitting the road this Autumn to showcase songs from his albumsOvercome, Tales of Flying & Falling & his latest EP.
