About Ed Blann
Classically trained in the Manchester Boys Choir, Ed Blann began performing at a young age, but it wasn't until moving to the north east of England and becoming immersed in the thriving folk scene that he began sharing and performing his own music.Drawing from an eclectic taste and wide range of influences, Ed’s solo music has ranged from tender acoustic crooning to raucous electric guitars and gang vocals, lending a unique emotive voice to his distinctive lyrical style.As well as releasing and performing his own music, Ed is no stranger to collaboration and enjoys exploring diverse topics, exemplified in his work on Doctor Who-themed band Chameleon Circuit’s sophomore album “Still Got Legs” for which he was a primary songwriter as well as contributing vocals and guitar.More recently, Ed has been exploring other avenues of performance, including taking to the stage with a number of Musical Theatre Societies.

Ed was also a key contributor to Chameleon Circuit's sophomore album "Still Got Legs"
Joining the band during pre-production, Ed began contributing songs he had written inspired by the band's earlier work. When recording sessions began he provided lead and backing vocals, as well as guitars. In April of 2011 the band relocated to Paris, France to complete the album, where Ed was instrumental in working with other members on songs they had contributed that weren't quite fitting on the album.
