Tip of The Week: Billy Lockett - Balance
Post categories: Tip of the Week
|17:14 UK time, Thursday, 24 November 2011
Billy Lockett is a boy who's lived in Northampton his whole life. Learning to play piano in his basement, a room apparantly full to the brim of old slot machines, canvases, board games and band equipment, Billy started playing aged 8 and hasn't stopped since.
He has been raised jamming with his father's friends and gigging in local pubs, and is now ready to take his music from his Northampton basement to the huge audience of the Radio 1 playlist.
This track Balance will be played on the Radio 1 daytime shows all week and it's a song that really epitomises the folky story-telling feel of Billy's music. If you like Mumford & Sons, I think you'll really appreciate the opening 30 seconds of this at least. Enjoy!
