Splicing dance tunes of old England with the sunny sexy grooves of reggae and lovers' rock, Edward II transcended superficial notions of "crossover" to forge a truly original synthesis from their far-flung musical roots.

Featuring a seven-piece line up that saw melodeon and sax, fiddle and trombone nestling snugly cheek-by-jowl, their repertoire strolled expansively from reworked folk standards like "Wild Mountain Thyme" or "La Russe" to Caribbean classics like Gregory Isaacs "Night Nurse". They were long renowned as one of the freshest, funkiest acts on the circuit, they sent crowds from Shetland to Sri Lanka, Brazil to Bangladesh into a jigging, skanking frenzy with their superlative live shows.

Now the legendary festival band return to the scene for a comeback tour!!
