Discovered this man recently, hes class.

And the more widespread mainstream song he's done:

Little bird and cold coffee are particular delights.

Caution, I think a few swearies.

Stormster · 3 Apr 2011 at 16:23

He is really quite good.

Detroit_Waves · 3 Apr 2011 at 18:32

Yeah he is great to watch live, saw him a while ago not knowing what to expect...and I guess on first impressions I was a little bit concerned! Haha...however he won most people over.

Reminds me of the first time I saw Brett Dennan, I had the same dodgy first impressions, that were quickly evacuated!

He's just released a free one take EP

Stormster · 8 Apr 2011 at 00:17

Aye check his site for that, canna grumble.

Like his take on Jamie Woon's tune, he's another one to check as well, cracking singer.

I am just getting into this guy now, love all the stuff in this thread.

Noel Gallagher · 12 Jul 2011 at 21:32

I remember listening to A-Team on repeat last year. Class song :cool:

Also, another song, Ed's pretty good in this:

You Need Me, I Don't Need You official video was released not long back.

G-MAN2004 · 29 Jul 2011 at 20:52

Good stuff! Going to see him in October.

Clown · 29 Jul 2011 at 21:00

Where is he playing? I might buy his album in September

G-MAN2004 · 29 Jul 2011 at 21:21

I'll be seeing him at Rock City in Nottingham, but he's playing at quite a few places:

As I understand the venue owners told the promoters that they would not host them unless they got rid of Macklemore.
So promoters got rid of Macklemore.

Ed does not own those venues, you either play be their rules or play somewhere else.

I'm not sure about that. I suspect if Ed Sheeran said "ok then, we don't play", the venues might have backed down. I believe he's got quite a few fans.

Every single one of his supporting acts and his own long term backing band disagree.

What happened to musicians being rebellious? Everything is so sanitised and corperate now.

What Macklemore said wasn't controversial (at least in the under 50's age group) except to certain billionaires.

Ed Sheeran had the power here to lay down an ultimatum and the owners would have folded as everybody would have lost money.

Instead Sheeran shows he has no spine both-siding it when he literally played at Robert Kraft's wedding, a frequent Epstein associate.

Don't know, did he make the big time then?
