About Me

I am a contemporary singer songwriter based on Dartmoor in Devon, England. I have been gigging for a few years now and have just finished recording my debut album 'Hold Your Horses' which is released on Febuary 16th 2009. Andy Seward has produced the album and me and my dad are releasing it on our independent record label Monsoon Music with the help of Cadiz Music. I'm honoured to have such a great bunch of really talented people playing and working on the album such as John McCusker, Andy Cutting, Kate Rusby, Donald Shaw, Jim Causley and the Angel Brothers! I also co-wrote the song 'Hidden Scars' with Ethan Johns.This past year I have also been lucky to support artists such as Jools Holland, Rachel Unthank And The Winterset, Julie Fowlis, Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, Midge Ure and many others. I've got tons of gigs in the pipe line for 2009, including lots of festivals so keep an eye out on my gig listings!My other website is up and running (www.ellaedmondson.co.uk), and you can still purchase 'Blame Amy' on there. 'Blame Amy' is a 5 track ep that was recorded in 2007, but this won't be for sale once the new album is out.I have a great band with me and the minute, we dont play all gigs together but when we do i have Buddy Valentine on Acoustic Bass Guitar and backing vocals, Matt Norman on Fiddle and Mandolin, and Si Paull on Drums, Djembe and all sorts of stuff!I was born in Hammersmith and lived in London untill i was 15, which is when we moved to Devon. I've been songwriting as long as i can remember, and started playing the guitar when i was about 14. I played my first gig in Exeter supporting a friends band when i was 16 and haven't really stopped. Well thats a lie, i did stop gigging for a while when i went to Canada and qualified as a snowboard instuctor, and i didn't gig much when i was working as a painter and decorator either, but now i gig as much a possible. Now still live in Devon with my boyfriend and our beloved staffie dog Dave. Myspace Background Generator and Myspace Hide Friends Code
