He played Liverpool this year, and has been recording (slowly) , I think with Bill Ryder-Jones.

Not sure it’s better, but it’s very very good and I love it.
Great song. And the forgotten classic Black Book, the single that never was, on the B-Side..
He makes Mick Head sound like Stephen Fry.
I’m from Liverpool and I find him tricky 😂😂😂😂
Last time I saw him play was around the time of the “Song Of Day & Night” album. My main memory is I took my ex-girlfriend and Edgar delivered a Windsor Davies impression in an impenetrable Scouse accent. After I’d translated it for her she still had no idea what I was on about!
Top night celebrating 10 years of @av8records.bsky.social with Pete Wilko, Marvin Powell, Michael Robert Murphy and Sunstack Jones (plus Mick Head cameo). You could have made a supergroup out of the legends in the crowd.
What did he play? Any new stuff?
Edgar is fantastic. New album coming soon on @av8records.bsky.social
The perfect soundtrack to dancing with the lepers in the madman’s house:

Lyrically he has grown the most, I think. Listening to Endless Arcade (the song) right now and it’s a masterclass.
He gets better and better I think. Every one a grower.
Indeed. And Thaw Me is another lost gem !
If we count Everything Is Falling Apart and Tired Of Being Alone, yes.. if not, no
Tonight’s viewing:
Great night watching @thecoral.bsky.social film, a mere 4 minutes walk from my front door. As good as everyone has been saying (the film, not my front door) : catch it if you can.
