Currently, Ed is on tour as a supporting act for James Blunt. It was interesting how the senior singer, James Blunt, commented on about this collaboration:
“It’s extremely calm. We drink tea. We watch television series – I can’t think of which one, but we take it very easy.”
“I have five people in my band, he has a loop pedal,” Blunt added. “He’s not only a great musician but a great businessman, too. It feels highly inefficient of me, and my band sit there nervously, waiting to be fired.”
