Some artists are too potent a talent, too much of a one-off, to be housed within the confines of a band. The incomparable Lewis Floyd Henry is just such a dude. In the age when MySpace and the blogosphere have become the conventional means of achieving rock stardom, this remarkable songwriter and performer has gone the ancient route of taking to the streets to broadcast his music. For the past few years, like a Mississippi bluesman in the early 20th century, Lewis has pitched up on street corners around London, at Brick Lane, Borough Market and the South Bank, every time trousering a pocket full of loose change, but also gradually spreading the knowledge of his extraordinary genius. Unlike those Delta entertainers, he arrives armed with a trolley carrying a battery-operated amplifier and diddy custom-made drumkit - hence the title of his mind-blowing debut album, One Man & His 30w Pram'. Even less like them, he has accrued 100,000 hits for a YouTube clip, where he blasts out a block-rockin' take on The Wu-Tang Clan's Protect Ya Neck' outside Tottenham Court Road tube station. Elsewhere on the site, you can see him busting out a Prokofiev tune with his teeth. As one comment thereabouts imaginatively puts it, ?When Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and Ol' Dirty Bastard died, this guy was born.The album came about after a chance encounter where Lewis was spotted busking on Brick Lane, in July '09, by Suss'd Re-cords, who are responsible for the re-issue of legendary 70s-80s disco/soul/funk imprints Salsoul and P&P Records. So impressed were Suss'd by the flair & intensity of Lewis' talent, that Suss'd offered Lewis a deal there on the spot & a new label, Adjust Records was set-up as a vehicle to release Lewis' records and that of potentially other future escoteric artists After demoing 20-odd tracks that October, which earnt Lewis gigs around London and across the UK at this summers key fes-tivals: Bestival, Latitiude, Leeds, The Big Chill & beyond, One Man & His 30w Pram' was laid down in four days flat in June '10 at Miloco Studios' The Pool', with Ferg Peterkin (Graham Coxon, Depeche Mode, Foals, The Horrors) producing.With this uniquely amazing album under his belt, the world is now at Lewis Floyd Henry's feet. Having honed his performing skills on the toughest stage of all - the street - he's equipped to win over anyone, anyplace, anytime.
