Growing up on the south coast of England, Ed found music through his father’s old blues records and his mother’s Laurel Canyon songbooks. He left school at 16 and saved his money working in the local guitar shop to buy a one way ticket to North America.
Aged 18, and accompanied by a notepad of his favourite guitar players' phone numbers, Ed travelled coast to coast learning from musicians who graced the landscape of 70s and 80s American radio. It was on greyhound buses and in small town hostels that he developed his love of songwriting.
