Ed Harcourt

EXTRA SET ADDED DUE TO HUGE DEMAND.

To celebrate the release of the new album 'El Magnifico', Ed Harcourt visits Kingston to play an in-store set.

Making his debut with the Mercury Prize-nominated ‘Here Be Monsters’ in 2001, Harcourt has released music under his own name that blends raw emotions, impeccable songwriting and visionary flights of imagination. A succession of ten rich, enthralling albums have followed that first spark of his, including the intoxicating addictive ‘Strangers’ in 2004; 2013’s breathless ‘Back Into The Woods’ which was recorded in just eight hours; and ‘Furnaces’ which compellingly and entreatingly envisioned family ties confronted by the small matter of the apocalypse. After that LP in 2016, Harcourt then moved to explore the instrumental sphere with recent soundscape albums ‘Beyond The End’ and ‘Monochrome To Colour’.

While recognisably bearing all the hallmarks that have made him such an admired and prolific songwriter, one of Britain’s most cherished yet inventive music creators, Ed’s new record, ‘El Magnifico’, also finds him striving for something new. It is an Ed Harcourt record, but one with a desire to seek fresh reward.
