Profile

Apart from his time at University Ed has lived his entire life in County Durham. He’s very proud to work as a broadcast journalist and newsreader at the newly launched Star Radio.

In the past couple of years Ed has covered Tony Blair’s resignation and he’s also interviewed the Archbishop of Canterbury, but Ed says nothing has quite matched the thrill of interviewing Niall Quinn!

Ed has had a passion for performing since a very young age. At the age of twelve he auditioned for the National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain, he was then promoted to the main National Youth Choir when he was eighteen.

In 2005 he was one of twelve members selected to sing the national anthem before England faced Australia at Twickenham and in 2006 he sang before the FA Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Ed has sung at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall on two occasions and in 2006 he spent four weeks touring Central and Eastern Europe with the National Youth Choir.

In 2007 Ed joined the Northern Spirit Singers; a choir based in Durham and conducted by his good friend and fellow Scrooge cast member, Andy King.

Ed is thrilled to have been cast as Bob Cratchit in his second production with DMTC.
