Ben Leach
Appearance
Ben Leach (born 2 May 1969, Liverpool, England) was the keyboard and synthesizer player in the Liverpool-based pop band, The Farm.[1] He joined in 1986 at the age of 17 after the death of Andy McVann in a car crash on 1 October that year, and was the band's youngest member, still being with them at the height of their success in autumn and early winter of 1990, when they achieved chart success with Groovy Train and All Together Now.
He later went on to become keyboard player and guitar player for the second incarnation of Happy Mondays in the early to mid 1990s.
Like most of the band's members, he was from the Cantril Farm housing estate from which the band took its name. He also became an avid Dave Matthews fan.
