Born in Halifax, Sheeran grew up in Suffolk, where he sang in a choir with his mother, a jewellery maker, from the age of four. It was his father, an art lecturer, who nurtured his son’s passion for music, taking him to gigs all over the country.
‘He was a cool dad,’ says Sheeran. ‘The first live gig I went to was Green Day at Wembley, though I thought seeing people like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan was even cooler.’
When Ed was 11, they travelled together to Dublin to see Damien Rice.
‘Afterwards, we stuck around and Damien and his band came into the pub next door. I didn’t have much to say – I was too young – but it was inspiring seeing him on stage for two hours with just an acoustic guitar and his voice. Being able to command a crowd like that made me think, “Wow, it can be done.”
'That night when I got home, I wrote six songs, my first six songs.’
He recorded them onto a CD and sent them to Lisa Hannigan, the Irish singer-songwriter who was a member of Rice’s band at the time.
‘I wouldn’t want that CD to crop up now,’ smiles Sheeran. ‘I wrote loads of songs when I was young. They weren’t very good.’
