Josh Kumra - What We Might Find (Feat. Mahalia) (Live Studio Session)

Ever since Mahalia met Ed Sheeran and he tweeted about her last year, the young singer/songwriter hasn't looked back, and is currently working on her debut EP.

Ed Sheeran - Give Me Love (10 Minute Version) (Live in Montreal)

Snow Patrol's tour of North America landed in Canada last night, and here is footage of support act Ed Sheeran performing his 10 minute version of 'Give Me Love'.
