About

terrace cred. presents:

two of the UK's most exciting rising performers in the field, together tonight on a special double header bill in the perfect, intimate setting of Brighton's Folklore Rooms

ED BLUNT is a multi-instrumentalist storyteller whose songs will make you laugh and gently break your heart. Blending folk, jazz and roots with Randy Newmanesque humour, he describes his music as finding the little nuggets of magic in everyday life. Born in the Surrey Hills, Ed grew up surrounded by the sounds of Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Van Morrison. His talent for playing by ear led him to study jazz piano at the Guildhall School, but on graduation he was left with crippling stage fright.

Stumbling on an online songwriting camp during the Covid lockdown proved to be a turning point.
Mentor Chris Difford discovered his talent for the first time, calling him a quiet genius. Since then, Ed has released two albums and collaborated with artists including Tom Odell, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Jamie Lawson. Ed's endearing stage presence and candid storytelling have earned him a devoted following, leaving a mark on the hearts of his listeners. His Manifestations UK tour celebrates the power of songwriting in unlocking creativity and overcoming fear.

Daisy Chute is an American-Scottish, Grammy-winning, banjo-wielding multi-instrumentalist / singer / songwriter based in London. Her musical roots are born out of her transatlantic heritage and she writes award-winning intelligent songs with stories, performing them with spine-tingling vocals & intricate instrumentation.

Whilst still at school, Daisy signed to Universal/Decca as lead vocalist of multiple platinum selling band All Angels. Her songs feature in projects like 'Shaun The Sheep The Movie' / 'The Sims 4' / 'Loki' / '47 Roni' to David Attenborough's A Perfect Planet and session vocalist with Radiohead.
2024 saw Daisy win a Grammy as part of the 'Birdsong Project' with her piece with Robert Thomas, Murmuration, inspired by starling murmurations.
