Plan B - Who Needs Actions When You've Got Words (acoustic in Camden, June 2006)

Here's Ben Drew showing off his soul chops several years before anyone wanted to buy his records. This was filmed upstairs at The Enterprise pub in Camden. This was the same venue for what I think was the first ever London Plan B show, the year before. Ben was all on his own that night and I ended up having to be an impromptu roadie for him, when his mic stand started to collapse.
Before I shot this video he told me he'd played a gig the night before where literally no one came to see him. Just performed for the bar staff and a few pub regulars who were already there when he arrived. And now look at him.
I apologise for how crappy the filming is. I still didn't really know what I was doing at this point!
