Ed Harcourt
Proof, if proof were needed, that what the press say doesn’t really have much bearing comes in the shape of Ed Harcourt. Despite the yards of serious media coverage and award nominations, Harcourt still finds himself with an early afternoon tent slot.
He is, however, fabulous. The ill-advised beard he currently sports notwithstanding, there can be few men outside of Chris Martin’s realm who can make a piano look quite so sexy, and his multi-instrumented band help infuse an uplifting joy into his simple songs, particularly ‘Watching The Sun Come Up’. So maybe we were right after all.
