20 April 2005
Ed was featured on the Johnnie Walker show on BBC Radio 2 last night (Tuesday 19 April)! For the next few days you should be able to listen to the show online (Ed's segment is about 1hr 20mins into the show - RealPlayer should let you "seek" to that point and play from there).

Unfortunately, as a result of the interest generated by the show, this website blew its bandwith limit! To get it back online I have temporary disabled the MP3 files.

On a positive note, Echoes went to number 2 in the Amazon.co.uk sales chart on 20 April!

Thanks to everyone who got in touch to say they'd seen Ed busking in Chester and elsewhere. I've now heard that after some lengthy delays caused by certain record labels, Ed's new album Echoes will be out on the Wingspan label in 2005. I hope to have some more information soon!

Unfortunately I have had no news from Ed & Denyze in quite a long while. That's the reason for no updates to the site. If anyone has seen them recently or knows what they might be up to, please let me know!

18 July 1998
Updated the site a little including re-arranging the main frameset, hopefully this will allow more space for the main content pages and less clutter. Also added a new page on the stone circles (which Ed and Denyze often visit and write about) having just received some information from Ed and Denyze. Also they have informed me that in a recent edition of The Lawyer magazine, a featured lawyer Richard Miller lists this site as his most-visited Web site!!
