ED TUDOR POLE

Edward is a descendant of Henry VIII.  He was there at the dawn of the punk scene, writing songs and strutting the boards with anybody who was anybody, 'Who Killed Bambi?' being his first hit, from the film 'The Great Rock'n Roll Swindle' in which he played 'Tadpole' opposite Irene Handle.

During the 80s his band Tenpole Tudor signed to the legendary Stiff label and released two albums, the first of which 'Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary' spawned the classic 'Swords of a thousand men' which shall go down in history as one of the best songs of its era.

Ed took over from Richard O'Brien as the front man for the later series of Channel 4's 'The Crystal Maze' and has acted prolificaly  on stage and in film, appearing alongside Rex Harrison in 'The Admirable Chrichton', with Bowie in 'Absolute Beginners'; in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'; 'Quills' with Geoffrey Rush, and as Spike Milligan in 'The Life and Death of Peter Sellars', among many others.

He has a new album released in 2010 which is in the shops now. He is currently on near permanent tour and will be performing for RRRANTS at The Poetry Cafe, Covent Garden on the 21st of July!
