Brit Award Winning, Ben Howard wowed the crowds at his homecoming show last night at Plymouth Pavilions.

A man of few words, captivated the crowd by playing tracks from his two albums ‘Every Kingdom’ and his recently released ‘I Forgot Where We Were’ which was released in October last year.

Despite being in an arena, it felt like a tiny venue due to the personal feel to the set.
