Hailed by Rolling Stone for his “astonishing mastery of his craft”, Ed Blunt is a multi-instrumentalist storyteller whose songs can make you laugh one moment and gently break your heart the next.
Drawing comparisons to James Taylor, Paul Simon and The Divine Comedy, Ed blends folk, jazz and roots with a dry, self-deprecating wit and a gift for turning everyday moments into quietly profound songs. His work has received BBC radio support and critical praise for its lyrical depth and melodic craft.
An accomplished live performer, Ed has toured extensively across the UK and Europe, appearing at festivals including Black Deer, FolkEast and Manchester Folk Festival, and supporting acclaimed artists such as David Ford, Reg Meuross and Annie Dressner.
His live shows are intimate, story-led evenings full of humour, honesty and musicianship – the kind of night that feels like catching up with an old friend.
Described by Chris Difford of Squeeze as “a quiet genius”, Ed’s unguarded warmth and storytelling have earned him a devoted following, leaving a lasting mark on the hearts of his listeners.
Support comes from Grace Elizabeth Harvey.

Grace Elizabeth Harvey is a singer-songwriter based in Liverpool. Her songs are unflinchingly intimate, lyrically deft explorations into what it means to be human. With a background as a classical cellist and student of literature and philosophy, she unites the traditional with the exploratory, to capture deeply moving fragments of our experience.
The year of her 2025 debut EP, Other Faith, brought two UK wide tours, including a break into London’s grassroots folk scene, sharing stages with the likes of Chris Brain, Chloe Foy, Josienne Clarke, Villagers and Florist. She won the Young Songwriter’s Competition 2025 and has since been awarded the PPL Momentum Accelerator Fund for her upcoming EP, Songs of Devotion.
With a penchant for exceptionally captivating live performances, receiving praise from national press (BBC Introducing, Still Listening, Narc, Fatea, Folking) and grassroots fans alike, Grace is quickly proving herself to be of the UK’s finest emerging songsmiths and a ‘new name to watch’ (FATEA).
