Ed Blunt, Katey Brooks

Ed Blunt’s music evokes classic Tin Pan Alley songwriting with a lyricism that reaches from the introspective to the universal.

From cinematic stories of men on the moon to the folklore of his home city, his songs paint a rich tapestry with soul-stirring melodies that linger long after listening.

A jazz and classically trained pianist who earned his stripes on the London scene, his album ‘Over the Moon’ marks Blunt’s debut release as an independent artist. Blunt started writing his own music in earnest during the lockdown of 2020, during which he was discovered by Chris Difford of legendary band Squeeze, who describes Blunt’s writing as “brilliant”.

With a “voice to melt glaciers” (Venue Magazine) Brooks is at home anywhere she can take her guitar. From the London 2012 Olympics to Glastonbury Festival, from WOMAD to Abbey Road, Brooks’ “devastating vocal talent” (Just Music That I Like) has garnered her admirers from across the spectrum of the industry.

Katey features on tracks with Paloma Faith, Imelda May, The Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd and Brian May – not to mention sharing the bill with acts like Newton Faulkner, Ghostpoet, Deaf Havana and Mystery Jets.
