Edward II

Stainsby and Larmer Tree this weekend.

The pace is picking up now.  We had a great gig at Ely last weekend and thanks for all your kind comments.  Its nice to know you are enjoying it as much as we are.  We are really looking forward to Larmer Tree.  It was always one of our favourite festivals and we are excited to be back.  We will be doing a CD signing there as well so we hope to see you.

Last chance to get the free download of Rocky Road this week (see the post below here for details).  There will be another track up next week for you.

Edward II play Glastonbury this weekend!

Edward II continue their festival tour with a performance at the most famous of all outdoor festivals, the one and only Glastonbury. They will be performing on the Avalon Stage at 9.30pm on Saturday 27th June. Edward II will be sharing a stage with The Wonder Stuff, Eliza Carthy & Badly Drawn Boy amongst others.
Here is what one of our readers said of the gig at the Big Session festival in Leicester:
“I glanced over my shoulder and exchanged a look with a fellow concert goer who was as delighted as I was to finally see the renion after all these years. And what a set. It was played with great energy, enthusiasm, expertise and sheer good fun throughout. I enjoyed myself immensely as did everyone in the Big Top that night. See you on down the road… ” thanks Frank – we are glad you enjoyed it!

Edward II kick off the festival season at The Big Session Leicester!

Edward II kick off a packed summer festival tour on The Marquee Stage of Leicester’s annual Big Session festival, onstage time is 9.45pm…

Splicing dance tunes of old England with the sunny sexy grooves of reggae and lovers’ rock, Edward II transcended superficial notions of “crossover” to forge a truly original synthesis from their far-flung musical roots.
Featuring a seven-piece line up that saw melodeon and sax, fiddle and trombone nestling snugly cheek-by-jowl, their repertoire strolled expansively from reworked folk standards like “Wild Mountain Thyme” or “La Russe” to Caribbean classics like Gregory Isaacs “Night Nurse”. They were long renowned as one of the freshest, funkiest acts on the circuit, they sent crowds from Shetland to Sri Lanka, Brazil to Bangladesh into a jigging, skanking frenzy with their superlative live shows.
