this guy is superb... first saw him in Oxford in the late 80's early 90'2, he was, and still is, brilliant........ does anyone know where I can get a copy of the fantastic Purple Electric Violin Concerto?, had it on tape(yes, tape) many years ago and wondered if it is now available on CD..?
I have only just found ED on here but cant get enough of his music, when i think i have found his best i always hear another brilliant song like this, i know this isnt his song it self but the way its played is brilliant!
Superb - he can certainly make the Violin talk! I would love to see him busking live. I did see a Saxophonist do similar in Bath over Christmas, but nothing like this.
I was wandering through york on my second visit there today and watched him play live. I couldn't help but buy his album Symphony. He asked me why a 13 year old would be interested in an electric violin played by an old man which made me sad because not many kids my age appreciate good music anymore =[ Brilliant musician xxxx
Ed's great, he must be one of the best musicians ever. I'm so lucky to live in york, i think i have all his albums-signed, one time he signed my t-shirt, i was a bit worried when my gf wanted him to sign her boob, but i still think he's amazing.
At times like this I hate England! It's too far away :)! I want to live there! British culture, Celtic culture, Ireland, Scotland, old and modern, they're all sooooo cool, it can't be described! :)
haha yea as long as you can put up with the cold you'll do just fine to come here...but when you can listen to stuff like this live just by being in the right place it's brilliant...i was just wandering through york when i first heard him...was just magical.
I can't describe how much emotion I feel when I listen to this song...it's overwhelming.
I play violin, and once I get better I'm going to start on electric violin. I'm trying to learn this song and it's really hard, but that just makes me want to learn it better! I live in Canada, and once I turn thirteen I can start busking! <3
ILY Ed. You brought so much happiness to me when I was sad. :)
Every melody he plays is akin to wizardry. I love and hate this man, for making the most exquisite music, surpassing beauty. But I hate him, because the other 70 gigabytes on my Ipod seem somehow diminished, even my favorites pale in comparison. Damn you maven of melody!
That's about the best respect that you can give to a song/artist. I agree, I'd love to have this song played during my funneral as well, but want to listen to it while I'm still alive! Over and over and over again.
I couldn't agree more... what an honor to have this played at my funeral and yours as well... and that is showing some major respect... thank you I know that artists appreciate it
I'd like to live in England for a year or two. America isn't that bad though. In a way, it's kinda exotic. I can't explain that though. Our Location maybe, the america's are awesome. I just wish there was a big time player in world politics down in South America.
Lol. Nobody in the world ('cept the Brits and a few random people like me.) even know what York is. Everyone in the world knows what New York is though, lol. We just stole all of our cities from England, France, and Mexico/Spain. lol.
Uhhmmmm well americans are europeans that set sail for the new continent of america anyway.... it only makes sense then that there are cities named after european ones? Of course in the course of time differences in the way of life, culture, ideals etc. started appearing. Or maybe Im hullucinating :)
not being rude here but it was wen the colonised america way back that they named it, newyork was actualy named something ducth b4 the brits kicked em out. obvioulsy not all the towns or states but like louisiana was french i thing so is new orleans, ohio wa nglish and so was georgetown obviously.
but you guys kicked us brits out fair and square. trust me its nive in england, london is pretty mad!
Ohio was primarily settled by the French originally. Limited and sparse settlement, but French nonetheless, hence towns like Masillon and Bellefontaine. New Sweden--Connecticut, New Amsterdam--New York, New Spain--Florida, etc. The British did most of the pre-revolutionary kicking out. Then the Americans went crazy with it. Yay manifest destiny? But lovely music. ^.^ Love this man so hard!
