Terry E

Terry Edwards (born 10 August 1960, Hornchurch, Essex) is an English musician who plays trumpet, saxophones, guitar and keyboards. Edwards gained a degree in music from the University of East Anglia in 1982, where he was also a founding member of The Higsons. He produced and played on the debut album by Yeah Jazz "Six Lane Ends". He has subsequently performed and released records both as a solo artist (with and without his band, The Scapegoats), and as a session musician, collaborating with artists such as Gallon Drunk, Derek Raymond, Mark Bedford, Tindersticks, PJ Harvey, Spiritualized, Nick Cave, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Department S, Lydia Lunch, Faust, Snuff, Tom Waits, and Robyn Hitchcock.

Links to Peel[]

Terry Edwards was played numerous times by Peel from the early 1980s onwards, notably as a member of local Norwich band the Higsons and later Gallon Drunk, as well as a solo artist (including with the Scapegoats) and a session musician for other performers. Peel particularly seemed to enjoy Edwards' dedicated cover versions EPs of songs by artists including Jesus And Mary Chain, Fall and Miles Davis.

G is for... Gallon Drunk

In 2012, Edwards was interviewed by John Peel Archive about Gallon Drunk as part of a video series for the online release of first details of Peel's Record Collection. Introduced by Sheila Ravenscroft as "a really good friend," the musician recalls hanging around Broadcasting House to meet Peel, attending 50th and 60th birthday events at Peel Acres, emailing the show from America on the DJ's 65th, and shopping to buy a learner sax for Peel's son William, among other memories. He describes Peel as "a top man."
