Edd Donovan, is an intelligent songwriter that draws on both Rock Pop and the kind of slightly alternative leftfield 'English' music, making you smile and think, while looking both backwards and forwards like musical Steampunk!

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better?
This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

@bbc5live.bsky.social wonderful interview with @whisperingbob.bsky.social
Interesting you both question why protest songs are not as prominent anymore as in the 70’s? Personally, that’s my bread and butter but I feel like the radio DJs are just not interested - like we’re being shut down!

‘about the subjection of women through the ages. It’s a big subject, handled with defiance rather than pessimism, helped by a dose of ironic humour. A lively tune has a Sixties feel and Emma joined by three guest backing vocalists for a complex vocal arrangement’ folking.com

BUTTERFLY: a meditation on re-incarnation that embraces Edd’s love of diverse song topics. Ever hungry to locate the right audio environment for a tune, this one even opens the door marked ‘freak folk’. Suddenly it’s all Incredible String Band whooping and 1969 Bowie descending countdowns.
