Ed Harcourt

So, Ed Harcourt is the kind of delicate, winsome, sensitive tunesmith you'd gladly take home to your mum, yes? Well... "I smashed my piano at a gig recently," giggles Ed, crackling with malicious glee. "The crowd weren't paying any attention, and I was getting more and more irate. It got so bad I picked up my stool, smashed it onto my piano and yelled 'Thank you and good night!'. I've done it before - I do get a little carried away at times. I'm the Yngwie J. Malmstein of the piano!".
