WHEN I'VE GONE

The true storey of a fictional character.

ARNOLD SWAYNE

Ben Haley & the Comics were formed in May 2015 in Bethnal Green by local music teacher James Harrison under the pretext of showcasing the talents of his ex-students. In reality Harrison was far more concerned with massaging his own already overdeveloped ego. 'I'm one of the most significant songwriters on the planet,' claims Harrison whilst appearing genuinely amazed that so few people share this view.

What the critics say:

'I danced, I laughed, I clapped along - then put a date in my diary to come back for more.' (Kelly Apter)

'Ben Haley & the Comics entertain like Larry David riffing with Syd Barrett on Buddy Holly's jet plane; singalong songs about life, death & personal bugbears are spliced with vented chat and humour.' (Andy Norton)

'If Alexei Sayle was a cockney, having shed half his own body weight to front a post punk skiffle band, then it would be a lot like Ben Haley & the Comics.' (Brian Donaldson)
