Vaughan King (born 1982) is an English singer-songwriter for punk/blues bands 'NED' and 'Dirt Diggers'. He is currently living in Camden, London.
In late 2007, he formed a band that went by the name of Vaughan King and his Riff Raff. The band originally consisted of two cellists, a double bass player and the customary instrumentation of drums and guitars. However after turning to a more blues inspired set the band separated. His style was described as "thought-provoking" and "having an interesting and clever array of instruments." In a 2009 blog, Vaughan announced that plans are well under way for the follow-up to The Triumphant and hopes to release new material by the end of the year. In 2010 he released an EP entitled 'Ballad Of A Poor Man' which was released with an animated video. In early 2011 it was announced that the band would be known as 'Dirt Diggers' and they would be releasing downloads and demo's throughout the year.

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or king:
“Should poor souls fear a shade or night,
Who came sure from a sea of light?
Or since those drops are all sent back
So sure to thee, that none doth lack,
Why should frail flesh doubt any more
That what God takes, He’ll not restore?”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“This was the merriest old man that we had ever seen, and one of the best preserved. His style of conversation was coarse and plain enough to have suited Rabelais. He would have made a good Panurge. Or rather he was a sober Silenus, and we were the boys Chromis and Mnasilus, who listened to his story.... There was a strange mingling of past and present in his conversation, for he had lived under King George, and might have remembered when Napoleon and the moderns generally were born.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
