About

Ben Ottewell is a British musician best known as the gravelly-voiced frontman of the indie rock band Gomez. Ottewell began his musical journey at a young age, inspired by his father's eclectic record collection. In 1996, he co-founded Gomez with Ian Ball, Tom Gray, Paul Blackburn, and Olly Peacock while studying at university in Sheffield.

Gomez quickly gained attention with their debut album, "Bring It On," released in 1998, which won the Mercury Music Prize. Ottewell's distinctive vocals and songwriting contributed to the band's unique sound, characterized by a blend of blues, folk, and rock elements. The band went on to release several critically acclaimed albums, including "Liquid Skin" (1999) and "In Our Gun" (2002).

Throughout Gomez's career, Ottewell's soulful voice and introspective lyrics resonated with fans, earning him a dedicated following. His solo career saw him exploring a more stripped-down acoustic sound, showcasing his raw talent and emotive storytelling. In 2011, Ottewell released his debut solo album, "Shapes & Shadows," followed by "Rattlebag" in 2014 and ‘A Man Apart’ in 2017.

With a career spanning over two decades, Ben Ottewell continues to captivate audiences with his powerful performances and evocative songwriting, cementing his legacy as one of the most distinctive voices in British rock music.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Kalm Horizons is proud to be part of Independent Worthing's membership scheme.

We're only in our first year of Independent Worthing membership and we absolutely love it. We've used it loads - on beers in our favourite pubs, on pastries and fresh bread in our go-to local bakery, gifts, groceries, and even on paint for our house renovation. Joint annual membership is also fantastic value for everything it offers, especially for the two of us, and having the digital membership card on both our phones means it couldn't be simpler to use. It's so nice to have a great way to find out about some of the lovely local businesses we've got here in Worthing and support them while also saving a little money too.

Using the IW discount scheme, I saved loads of money on my Christmas gifts and food shops. The subscription paid for itself in the first 3 days!

Had new tyres fitted this morning at Discount Tyres Direct which is tucked away down Winton Place - so handy to drop the car there and walk into town. I found the service so professional and want to give them a shout out. Also I used my IW card to get a discount 😃

I think the IW membership scheme is a brilliant idea - some great offers for local people and offering support to all of our wonderful local independent businesses. It's so easy to sign up and no reason not to!

I have easily saved more than my subscription cost and the opportunities to continue to save expand as more join the scheme. I am continuously adding to my list of indies to visit and try, from eating and drinking to creative arts, pampering and more. We are so lucky to have this scheme to enable us to support all those indies while saving money. Win Win. Excited. Love it.

Joining IW's subscription scheme has allowed me to discover and try out a range of lovely local products that I hadn't known about before. Oh - and the discounts come in very handy too, thanks!
