Music of a grim, Cold War Britain (2010-2025).

Aside from the odd project, Concretism is now mothballed. I'm doing other things elsewhere.

Sorry, I cancelled my 'pro' account on here, so my massive back catalogue going back to 2010 is no longer available. It just wasn't worth the £80 a year.

You can still buy my old stuff on Bandcamp:

Tell Tale Tusk are a versatile and varied ensemble, performing as both a Folk Quartet and a 6-piece ensemble.

The Tell Tale Tusk Quartet are a contemporary-folk ensemble
reimagining folktales old and giving light to folktales new.
Spellbinding (...and award-winning) vocal harmonies weave around melodious instrumentals to present a take on folk that is boundlessly creative. As well as being inventive interpreters of music from around the British Isles, the ensemble are prolific writers, adding their distinctive and astute voices to modern day folksong.

Inspired by World Music, Folk and Jazz,  the 6-piece ensemble have developed a unique performance style of ruthlessly entertaining original material. Twisted tales, tall stories and their signature three-part vocal harmonies form the core of this configuration whilst a rocking rhythm section and fieresome instrumentals whip up a frolicksome frenzy.

Hello. I'm Ben Champion. I write comedy songs.

In my day job, I write music for cartoons and kids' telly, which beats working for a living.

Hello. This is where I upload rough cuts of my songs or any other audio stuff I might be working on. At the moment, it's mostly just a few 'live' takes of old folky songs arranged for acoustic guitar, which I've written over the last 20 years or so.  You're welcome to let me know what you think, or share them with others.
