EDWARD II

Edward II are an English roots band that uniquely blend the rhythms of the Caribbean with

traditional songs from the British Isles. After an almost 17 year hiatus, they reunited in 2016 and released brand new album Manchester’s Improving Daily. Currently, the band have been working on a set of tunes collected from the fields of Jamaica at the start of the last century and later immortalised by the Jamaican poet, folklorist, writer, and educator Louise Bennett-Coverley.

Still upbeat, and with rock-steady rhythms, blazing horns, fabulous harmonies and fiery

melodeon melodies, the band continues to amaze audiences across the UK and Europe. We’re eager!
