Welcome to the website of the Sydney Cove Project, creation of singer-songwriter Ben Scott.  

See www.bensings.com for general information about me and my music.  I am currently building a website there which will be finished in early 2008 to coincide with my new album "Postcards from a Garage.  In the meantime see www.myspace.com/bensong for samples from the Sydney Cove Project and perhaps a sneak preview or two from the new one in the near future.

"Wot is it then eh?"

The Sydney Cove Project is a collection of original songs exploring human stories from the early history of Sydney in the years following the arrival of the First Fleet.  The songs of the Sydney Cove Project retell stories of important characters in Australia's history, both indigenous and European, such as Bennelong, Pemulwy (also known as Pemulwuy), Patyegorang, Ralph Clarke, William Dawes and Watkin Tench. They use journal entries and letters by Tench, Clarke, Bennelong and others.
