ABOUT BEN:  Ben hit the small screen in 2003 on Channel 4 soap "Hollyoaks" and became a household name. However, his love of writing and performing music led to him amicably leaving the show to pursue a career he had always dreamed of… Having been in various bands since the age of 13, Ben has toured the entire UK on numerous occasions including a number of headline tours and support slots for Twin Atlantic, Wheatus, Zebra Head and The Foundations to name a few... Ben took time out to focus on his family and has now returned to the music scene solo with a blend of mature pop fused with his rock tones, perfected through years of punk... The results are breathtaking!

Music and Lyrics: Jon Brooks.
Please comment, like, share and subscribe.  Thank you for your support.

LYRICS:

"If you could wish upon a star,
What would it be?
Would you drive the prince's car?
Or take the captain's ship to sea?

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy,

Would you wish for a fish, or your favourite dish?
Eat a lot of meat, or call your best friend Pete?
Stand in a land with a castle made of sand?
Or dance in France with ants in your pants?

Would you sing, would you run?
Would you skip, would you hop?
Would you fly high? OH MY!
These extraordinary things.....
Are sure to please...

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy."
