SINGER songwriter Ben Montague is hotly tipped to be the next Ed Sheeran and will be making a whirlwind stop at Mr Kyps in Parkstone on September 12.

Since he burst onto the scene in late 2010 with his debut single Can’t Hold Me Down, he has rarely left the airwaves.

He will be heading out on his first headline tour next month before joining the ex-Westlife global superstar Shane Filan on his much awaited You and Me Winter Tour.

His follow-up second single Haunted made the coveted BBC Radio 2 Record of The Week slot.

His first full length album Overcome received high praise and Broken his third single from the album, similarly topped the Radio 2 playlist for six weeks and improbably did very well in Singapore.

On the back of this commercial success Ben embarked on a series of headline and support tours including The Lighthouse Family, Stereophonics, The Wanted and Lawson.

“Tales Of Flying And Falling” Ben’s second studio album was released in early 2013 and its achievements started where Overcome had left off and made the much sought-after BBC Radio 2 Album of The Week, which Ben followed up with as a guest on the hugely popular Tracks of My Years with Ken Bruce.

Following the release of Tales Of Flying And Falling Ben hit the road for a headline tour, festival appearances including Isle of Wight and Cornbury and added further to his resume by supporting the super talented Amy Macdonald on her sell out UK tour.

A self-proclaimed workaholic who has a deep love of music, Ben has been busy penning his next release, teaming up with the incredible Pledge Music, getting ready to record his third album.
