Title: Eric Sedge Post by: David W on August 13, 2018, 06:40:44 PM Anyone?
Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Albie on August 13, 2018, 06:54:38 PM Oh, go on then. :D
I enjoyed him. Would happily see him if he was at another Festival I was at and he didn't clash too badly with whoever. Certainly enjoyed him more than Smith and Brewer or Will Varley, who I suppose were the other two unknown/little known low key acts of the weekend.

Yep nice songs but only on for 30 minutes which suggests (to me) that he was a late addition and they just tried to squeeze him in. Somebody will know better than me though. Passed by the Radio Oxford tent later where I think he also was playing but the bar was dragging me away :) Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: PhilipK on August 13, 2018, 10:25:07 PM I enjoyed his (short) set, especially Wilkie And Watson, and the song about his daughter.
I'd certainly go to see him if he was playing locally. Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Gouty (Gary) on August 13, 2018, 11:54:52 PM I’ve heard quite a bit about The Edge –how it has great beer, cider and sausages; how it does or does not profit the village – but, until now, I had no idea it was run by a bloke called Eric.
Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Will S on August 14, 2018, 04:41:30 PM I wasn't expecting much, but his songs drew me in and I downloaded his album when I got home and have already listened to it a couple of times, and think I'll be coming back to it quite a bit more. Definitely worth seeing again, if he comes around. My 'find' of the festival.

Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Tasha on August 14, 2018, 06:09:42 PM Now am i right in thinking that he was one of the Broadside boys who supported Richard Digance on tour and played a few festivals with him last year? I think the other bloke is very poorly with a brain tumour?

I think the other bloke is very poorly with a brain tumour? Yes you’re right about Eric and the Broadside Boys supporting RD. Saw them when I went to see RD in Colchester. Didn’t know about the other member of the Broadside Boys...very sorry to hear that. They were a very likeable duo Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Tasha on August 14, 2018, 07:07:50 PM Now am i right in thinking that he was one of the Broadside boys who supported Richard Digance on tour and played a few festivals with him last year?

Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: delfini (Diane) on August 14, 2018, 07:12:42 PM Mat Bayfield was the other half of the Broadside Boys. He’s had an awful time, but the chemo seems to have reduced the tumour and he is much better than he was.
Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: Paul on August 16, 2018, 08:36:25 PM Didn't realise he was half of the Broadside Boys. I enjoyed them when I saw them. Thought he was a very good singer songwriter.

Excellent Eric Will travel to see you if your booked anywhere in North Wales. Title: Re: Eric Sedge Post by: delfini (Diane) on August 21, 2018, 01:32:19 PM I enjoyed what I heard. The song about his daughter was excellent
