Ben’s Brother

As his new single is the epic Questions And Answers, we decided to get Ben’s Brother’s Jamie doing some Q&A’s of his own during his time at FemaleFirst, but instead of us asking the questions, it was you guys… so have a look below to see if Jamie answered your burning question.

Hey J
You had a great 'backing group' in Bristol this year!!! If you could choose anyone (dead or alive) who would you like to sing with?
Love Susan (No 1 Scottish fan) xXx

Aww - Susan - love ya..
Umm… Would love to have sung with Lennon. Or Elvis. Or Maybe Sam Cooke..

Hey Jamie,

Peter or Jordan?

MWAH x

A : Ha! Classic question! Well I’ve met em both. Peter is a lovely fella - was very sweet when I appeared on their pilot tv show a year back. Jordan? Frankly I have nothing polite to say…

Jamie, how come you use a name that makes you sound like a solo artist?

Do you want people to think you're just a solo singer like Marylin Manson?

Thanks. X

A : Well - to be honest - I am signed as a solo artist, I write all my own stuff - and I play with different musicians at different times - so yeah - that’s the reason for it really. Although I LOVE the guys who I perform with they are just geniuses and I take my flat cap off to em..

Hi Jamie really loved the album Battling Giants but what does the future hold for Ben's Brother?

A : Thanks so much. I love it too! Make sure you tell your friends to get it then! Well - at the moment we’re recording a special duet to replace the Joss Stone version because EMI have forbidden us from releasing that version as a single - so look out for news about Stalemate - it should be the next single..

Is your brother now known as Ben's Brother's Brother?

Is this awkward for him?

A : He he he
No - he’s just Ben. And sometimes Jamie’s brother now..

On your album there's a track with Joss Stone..

Will that be released as a single? I really like it..

A x Hi Annette - see the answer above - I am sorry to say that EMI are withholding permission for us to use Joss’s performance on it as a single - so we’re re-recording it this week with another female soul singer… so watch this space! It should be the late Autumn / Christmas single! Check out bensbrother.com for a big announcement soon…

Which TV presenter's job would you most like and why?

S x

A : That would have to be a foreign correspondent or a news reader. I don’t really know why other than that it’s always appealed to me. I wouldn’t want to be a Jonathan Ross or anything like that, although I wouldn’t say no to being on his show!
