Edd Donovan is a highly distinctive contemporary folk, singer-songwriter. Originally from the North of England, he has made his home in Cheltenham. His songs reflect not only his interest in folk music and the work of such performers as Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel, Loudon Wainwright, Nathaniel Rateliff, Fleet Foxes and Bowerbirds. A father, social workd and musician, he has a rare, original talent (check out Glasses And A Beard ). Inspired by nature, community and simplicity, he writes songs with a fire that will challenge as well as warm. He self-released an EP and album in 2006, toured a little and began garnering praise for his music. He returned to the music scene in 2013 with a new collection of songs and a growing collective of excellent musicians around him called The Wandering Moles. Contributors to the album include Paul Arthurs (drums, percussion), Chads Bradbury (keyboards, vocals), Chris Collins (lead guitar), Jane Bartholomew (vocals), Matt King (fretless bass), Bex (vocals) and James Agg (double bass).
