SUMMARY:Ed Blunt – 7th November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by Rolling Stone for his “astonishing mastery of his craft”, Ed Blunt writes story songs that will both make you laugh and gently break your heart.\nFeatured on BBC Radio and selected to play in all 620 Caffè Nero branches, his music blends folk, jazz and roots with a dry Randy Newman-esque wit.\nGrowing up in the Surrey Hills, Ed was surrounded by the sounds of Paul Simon, John Martyn, and James Taylor. His talent for playing by ear led him to study jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, but after graduating, he was left with crippling stage fright.\nStumbling on an online songwriting camp during the Covid lockdown proved to be a turning point. Mentor Chris Difford (of Squeeze) discovered his talent for the first time, calling him a “quiet genius.”\nSince then, Ed has released two acclaimed albums—Over The Moon (2022) and Grown Up (2024)—and collaborated with Beth Nielsen Chapman, Jamie Lawson, and Elles Bailey.\nHis 2025 debut UK solo tour included sold-out dates, and he has played major festivals such as Manchester Folk Festival and Black Deer. In 2025, he was selected for the Sound Roots Artist Mentoring Pathway, a career development programme for exceptional emerging artists.\nEd’s wry, self-deprecating humour and storytelling makes every show feel like an evening with an old friend. His unguarded honesty and storytelling have earned him a devoted following, leaving a mark on the hearts of his listeners.\n“A quiet genius.. his songs are wry and completely brilliant” Chris Difford (Squeeze)\n“A unique ability to reframe universal truths in a way that really hits home” Brum Radio\n“Immensely talented.. highly recommended” BBC Radio\n“Powerful and atmospheric” The Folk Club\n\n\n\nTicket Prices\n\nEarlybird Adult Tickets £12\nEarlybird Youth (Age 14-17) Tickets £8\nFull Price Adult Tickets £15\nFull Price Youth (Age 14-17) Tickets £10\n\n \nBook Online\nLocal Cash Bookings\n\nPlaylist\n4 Videos\n\nEd Blunt – Sturgeon Moon (Lyric Video)\n3:33\n\nWaterloo Sunset – The Kinks acoustic cover\n2:42\n\nEd Blunt – Catching Trains (Lyric Video)\n3:23\n\nLove Always Finds a Way – Ed Blunt (live at Focus Wales 2025)\n3:44\n
