Me too - I wouldn't go anywhere near his music though, although the one with Pharrell isn't bad.

I don't mind him, but you can certainly recognise an Ed Sheeran song, no matter who is singing it.
He does try to squeeze as many words into a line as he can.
What's that quote from Billy Mack in Love Actually? "...And particularly enjoy the incredible crassness of the moment we try to squeeze an extra syllable into the fourth line..."

Ed does that a lot.

Is Ed religious? Me mam used to listen to Songs Of Praise and she hated it when the venue was a happy clappy location where there would always be some grinning vicar a-strumming his geetar and singing a hymn what he wrote that contained a few words per line too many.


<reader's voice> Bit like that second sentence Phloppy

He seems like a pretty decent guy. Bores the shit out of me musically though. I'm not knocking buskers but I don't want to hear them on the wireless and that "fell in love with an ainglish man" song again I think I would lose the permanent use of the nearest radio

The wife went to see him this year, fortunately had to take a hit for the team and have the kids

I can't, I just hear something a bit bland and then find out that's who it is.

I do like that.
I have a feeling that it will be a first song in lots of weddings.
