Find out more about BFriendly
Duo BFriendly is the brainchild of musician, composer, pianist, singer songwriter, video producer and artist Ian Haywood.
As BFriendly he brings his own fresh style to reggae music along with his own brand of anecdotal comedy.
In the past he has worked in TV, played in a 12 piece soul band and even been a classical concert pianist! He has worked in tribute bands including the UK Bee Gees and more recently been a member of chart scoring band Peace On Your Plate.
His reggae roots go back to the days of trojan and ska music of the 70s when he was knee high to a grasshopper! Ian was a big fan of reggae back in the day and is now ‘living the dream’ of writing, producing and ultimately performing his own brand of reggae live. He sings of his earlier association with the genre in songs like Rasta Rasta and Reggae Man. The duo also sing fun songs about anything from bees to coffee, yucca plants to curry and even a song about their seafront apartment in Newquay! (an aspiration of course).
'When I was a teen I was always glued to mi little red radio. I took it everywhere I went. I even took it to school so as I could listen to the charts in geography on a Tuesday. Of course eventually teach found out and it was confiscated. I got it back at the end of school!'
Mi fave was always reggae music. Bob Marley was king to me.'
Join BF on his reggae journey. You can be sure it will be an interesting ride!
