*** NEWS *** Our debut album 'Made in London' is nearly here! The launch will be at The Great North Wood in West Norwood, south London. You can BUY TICKETS HERE! It has been fantastic collaborating with other musicians we deeply admire from the London scene, namely, violinist Basia Bartz, drummer Noah Dayan and OneCat studio engineer/ multi-instrumentalist Jon Clayton.
We're releasing three singles from the album via our Bandcamp page + all streaming platforms, along with videos of us playing the tracks live, which you can watch here. We have been working closely with videographers, photographers and local artists, creating art to support the album launch, so expect a lot of Bennett Valuks activity in the early months of 2025! Sign up to our mailing list to be kept up to date with progress. ------------------------------------ |

Ian Bennett and Benedict Valuks started making music together in late 2018, brought together through the bustling and vibrant south London music scene and their love of alt-folk, finger-style guitar and vocal harmonies. In 2024 Jack Neale joined the band on bass, expanding the sound and energy of the songs. Emily Naylor joined the band in spring 2025 on violin, piano and vocals.
Bennett Valuks perform an eclectic mix of original songs and covers that hold meaning to them. Expect flavours of Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlins, Townes Van Zandt, Simon and Garfunkel, with a tasteful sprinkling of Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, for good measure. You can catch them performing in London venues (mostly south of the river) and occasionally beyond. ---------------------------------------- |
