Ben Mattinson <benmattinson>


Ben was born on the 16th of February, 1986, in the city of Carlisle, England. His family were Christian and he spent his Sunday mornings at his family church and it wasn’t long before Ben put his faith in Jesus on a personal level. Musically, Ben didn’t really become too interested until he was about 13 - around the same time that he first heard Travis’s ‘The Man Who’ and also started playing drum kit. Ben’s passion for song writing wouldn’t develop until he picked up his mum’s rarely used, classical guitar at the age of 15 after watching episode four of the first series of the Office. ‘If Ricky Gervais can play one and make it sound decent, it can’t be that hard,' Ben reasoned.

  • Hey y’all!

    are any of you kids familiar with the ‘world


    wide inter-web?’ seeing as though you have found

    yourself stumbling upon my glossy new website, i’m

    guessing that you are.

    (note; watch ‘For your consideration’)





    So, i’m online! don’t know quite how this came


    about but never-the-less it did, and hence, i have

    decided to roll with it.





    My big thanks go out towards the Chris-meister, Mr


    C. Archer- He pretty much single-handedly made

    this happen, putting up with all my

    quasi-insightful butt-in’s and rejiggery along the

    way. Thanks, Chris- Most of the time you appear to

    have more faith in myself than i have…in myself.

    ahem.





    Ok, so feel free to browse. it’s not exactly


    disney world but there may be one or two points of

    interest and enjoyment for you here that you can

    briefly take in before you head off eagerly to

    check your myspace for comments. you guys know

    what i’m talking about.

    I promise to do my best to keep this blog page

    regularly updated. *scouts honour.



    *please note i was never in the scouts.

    Peace.
