Folk-rock stories with a pop-punk heart.

About
From choir stalls to folk clubs to loud bars
Classically trained in the Manchester Boys Choir and shaped by the folk scene in the north east of England, Ed grew from shy harmonies into a songwriter with a loud, honest streak.
His solo work spans tender acoustic confessionals and raucous electric guitars, folding traditional folk storytelling into the energy of pop-punk and emo. Along the way he became a key contributor to Doctor Who-themed band Chameleon Circuit, co-writing and recording on the album Still Got Legs.
These days the songs sit somewhere between pub back rooms, quiet bedrooms and packed cabaret nights — for fans of lyrics you can cry to and choruses you can yell.
