We just finished rehearsing two or three songs, I’m both scared and excited. They’re a little bit louder and playing with the full band, I feel like I’ve been liberated. Normally, at solo shows, I’m on the piano a lot but when I have a full band I get to be centre stage, it feels liberating.
Ed discusses the new album and performing at Glastonbury with the Libertines with Gigwise, ahead of tomorrow's Latitude festival performance.
Ed is currently hosting a Q&A session to celebrate 14 years since the release of Here Be Monsters. Head over to his personal Facebook page to join in.

Love & Other Crimes: The Songs of Lee Hazlewood Sunday 25 October 2015 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £20 – 25 plus booking fee Always averse to the spotlight, Lee Hazlewood was the reclusive figure behind songs like These Boots Are Made For Walkin’, Some Velvet Morning, Summer Wine, Houston and Sand, recorded during his heyday by such luminaries as Nancy Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Duane Eddy and Dean Martin, and revisited ever since by the unlikely likes of Beck, Lana Del Rey, The Fall and even Megadeth. Hazlewood’s influence as a singer, songwriter and producer remains far-reaching, with his stature only continuing to grow since his death in 2007. Love & Other Crimes: The Songs Of Lee Hazlewood puts the famously moustachioed, whisky-voiced “old cowboy” and his songs centre stage in this evening of performances curated by Wyndham Wallace – his manager and friend during the last years of his life, and also the author of Lee, Myself & I: Inside The Very Special World Of Lee Hazlewood – and Ed Harcourt, the Mercury Music Prize nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and avowed fan of Hazlewood’s work. The band that includes Harcourt, Adrian Utley (Portishead), Jim Sclavunos (The Bad Seeds), Romeo Stodart (The Magic Numbers) and Tom Herbert (Polar Bear) will be joined by a cast of singers, including Josh T Pearson, Matthew E. White, Jehnny Beth (Savages), Lawrence (Felt), Kathryn Williams and Caitlin Rose, with more names to be announced. Produced by the Barbican Find out more
New release: 'Restoration'
Recorded on Piano Day - OUT NOW
When I heard Nils Frahm had decreed Piano Day on the 88th day of the year my thought was 'damn - wish I had come up with that'.
I emailed Nils and told him I'd love to do something; he gave me his piano wünder-kind blessing and so the idea of giving you all the opportunity to see me create something in my studio in real-time was born. The BPM is 88 (of course) (88 keys on the piano etc...) and everything on this piece is taken from the piano and was recorded yesterday between 10am and 11.30am.
I started by recording the pedals as a simple rhythm, then a cyclical chord sequence. After that I just put down what ever came into my head, attempting to create some kind of Tangerine Dream/Steve Reich/Satie hybrid I guess…
I have to say I really enjoyed doing this - it feels pretty mad creating such a track with various limitations according to the instrument and time frame knowing that everyone is watching your every little move…
I've decided to call this 'Restoration' after watching the BBC News documentary about the only grand piano in Gaza and how they restored it; I was really moved in particular by Sara, the girl who was preparing for the concert towards the end of the documentary; she talked about how important music was to her, the fact that there was all this destruction and also a slight oppression from their government towards the music school (which quietly exists in the hospital) yet through it all, the desire to learn and play the piano compels her, spurs her on to succeed and survive in some way.
If you feel like making a donation (you can pay what you want or nothing at all), it's much appreciated: https://edharcourt.bandcamp.com/track/restoration.
All funds will be forwarded on to the Belgian charity MusicFund, who are funding the restoration of the piano in Gaza.
All the best, EH x

So many of the songs I've written are either an apology for my appalling behaviour the night before or a thank you letter or a tribute I guess.
