Testimonials

"Ed came and performed at our wedding in the little village of Sheepwash. We had a church wedding followed by a marque on the village green. It was here that Ed set the scene for our guests. After the service guests arrived and had their welcome drink and Ed performed an eclectic mix of acoustic songs. His voice was amazing and he played the guitar with passion and professionalism. It really made the day and worked perfectly with our countryside themed, relaxed, calm, small gathering. Many of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. We would definitely recommend Ed highly."

''We first came across Ed on the Lemonrock gig guide while searching for someone to play at our wedding in Cornwall, Sept 2018. Ed seemed to fit the bill so we travelled down from Worcestershire to see him play live at the Union in St Ives. 

From the first track we knew this was exactly the guy we were looking for, such a great voice and with a real unique slant on some classic covers, plus his own material too coupled with some fabulous acoustic guitar playing. Perfect we thought and booked him for the date on the spot. There onwards communications with Ed were superb which was of great comfort when you are trying to arrange a wedding.

The day itself was perfect which Ed played a major part in. Not only is he a fantastic accomplished musician but also such a professional and charming guy. Would not hesitate in recommending Ed for whatever the occasion and will certainly look him out again next time we are in the vicinity.

Thanks again Ed.''
