Ben Castle and the Blah Street Band is a preposterous jazz collective, comprised of long-term collaborators and friends, Ben Castle, Mark Edwards, Tim Harries, Troy Miller, and others. In 2004, Weather Report’s Joe Zawinul said about the band, “These guys are funny, and they are great. They have a great future ahead of them”. Now it’s time to find out if he was right. The band is very excited to be signed to Ben Castle’s Major Record Label. Ben is an award-winning musician, composer, arranger, songwriter & producer. He has worked with a vast array of artists across many genres, including Gregory Porter, Radiohead, Blur, Amy Winehouse, Quincy Jones, Villagers, Matthew Herbert, Little Simz, Stan Tracey, Paloma Faith, George Michael, Matthew E White, Lianne La Havas, Sting, Marlena Shaw, Jools Holland, and has featured heavily on many soundtracks, including Sex Education, Staged, Motherland & Toast of London. With Ben’s love and grasp of so many music styles and his ability to blur the genre lines, he has become a sought-after composer. He most recently scored the Grammy Nominated film Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story with Paul Pilot. The song Wrapped Around Your Little Finger, written with Beth Rowley for An Education made it onto the Oscar nomination shortlist.
