About Me

Ben Edge Left home at the age of 10 with all he owned tied up in a hankerchief and stick and headed for the city. Raised on a farm on the south coast of England a young Edge wanted to find a new life with a little more excitement. On his travels he met a young musician who gave him his first guitar and taught him how to play, Ben began busking the streets of London to scrape buy and was taken in at a local orphinage. Within a year Ben excelled acedemically and was given an honoury scolarship to Eton school, only to be expelled two years later. Down and out with no money Edge returned to the streets to make a living as a Busker. But with no license he found himself spending more time being moved on by the police. It was at this point that he built a tree house in Victoria Park, East London where he continues to live, write and play music!
