Edwyn's one of the most inspirational people I've ever heard of.

I am so pleased to see how well he has recovered, and that the music is still there, inside him and he's sharing it. This interview was a joy to watch!

I just finished 'Gorgous George'...it may easily be one of my favorite albums

I think this is the most awkward interview I've ever seen.
