Ed Sheeran- Devide and Conquer

By: David Nolan
Location: NF 920 NOL
Genre: ED

I am not going to lie- I am an Ed fan- love his voice, love his style, love his music and love how he rolls.
Don't like his tats or perhaps some of his lyrics...  but who is this guy, what has made him tick and be so real and true to himself....
So when my legs don't work like they used to before, but I still look wonderful in a dress, and I have misty eyes from a mountain below and its late in the evening- I will still be listening to Ed!

From pub open mic gigs to headlining at Madison Square Garden and performing with the likes of Sir Elton John and Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran has conquered the world.

Self-described as a 'spotty, chubby, ginger teenager' with a love for Damien Rice and Nizlopi, Ed Sheeran was never an obvious bet to become a global superstar. And yet that's exactly what he's achieved, winning plenty of awards (and hearts) along the way. But how did a young musician go from selling CDs from his rucksack to becoming the millenial record-breaking international stadium act?

Tracing his story from his bohemian childhood in Yorkshire and Suffolk to the release of his third album Divide, music journalist David Nolan chronicles Sheeran's musical life and times. Featuring exclusive interviews with friends, relatives, musical collaborators and key figures in his rise to stardom, Divide and Conquer tells the story of how Ed Sheeran went from school drop-out to one of the world'd most successful musicians.
