Ben Harding (guitarist)

Ben Harding (born 1965) is a British guitarist. A former BBC clerk, he achieved and managed to sustain commercial success in the music industry throughout the 90s, firstly as a member of U.K punk/pop pioneers Senseless Things, then with Britrockers 3 Colours Red, contributing to a total of 10 U.K top 40 singles.

He eventually embarked upon a career in public and media relations following the first split of 3 Colours Red in 1999. He has worked for many diverse organisations, including Help The Aged, the Eden Project and the Crown Prosecution Service. He now lives with his family in Cornwall, where he still plays music, albeit of a different type, and dances with Trigg Morris (http://www.triggmorris.freeserve.co.uk/), a Morris Dancing side in the Cotswold Tradition.

As well as guitar, Ben now also plays Mandolin, Octave Mandolin and Bouzouki.
