Beamed Back to Earth – well Towersey at least! (Contributed)

BACK for one year only, it is 10 years since Edward II last played out and we are really chuffed to have them on our guest list this year at Towersey. And you might wonder why the boys have thrown on the decorator overalls for this historic return?

There are rumours of alien abduction! Have they been beamed back to us to give us one last blast of their unique sound? Simon Care of the band tells us that this otherworldly photo shoot got some funny looks as the band stood in front of four cars with full beam headlights on to create this effect.

Splicing dance tunes of old England with the sunny sexy grooves of reggae and lovers? rock, Edward II transcended superficial notions of ‘crossover’ to forge a truly original synthesis from their far-flung musical roots.

So get ready for a very “Close Encounter” when Edward II beam into Towersey on Sunday, August 30.
