The Simple Pleasures

About Me

Ed Wall came to Brighton with a guitar. He started writing some songs. He started playing with a guy called Nick, who could record pretty well. They called themselves The Simple Pleasures because that's what Ed liked. They recorded some songs Ed wrote. Nearly 2 years went by in this way. They played live as a band. Ed wrote some more songs. Nick left the band. Not much changed. That's the history, this is the start.
I am currently looking for a bassist and lead guitarist based in Brighton to play live gigs. Anyone interested should contact me via this page.
For gigs and interested labels - please contact our manager Andy Gledhill at www.myspace.com/bear74productions

Pet Loves (a.k.a. simple pleasures)

I thought it best to balance the last list, it seemed a little short-sighted and cynical. So now to think of some things that make me really happy (1. imagining someone actually cared)!Sliding rings d...

Pet Hates

Hello. This isn't the one to read, but I'm frustrated at a couple of things so I thought I'd vent by writing a little list of my pet hates. I think I'll keep adding to it over the weeks as I think of ...

A Welcome Anti-Climax

Hello lovelies. Unbelievably, after all that Holmes-esque hypothesising about the mystery of the golden pen the other day (if you happened to read the previous blog), I found the bastard down the back...
