Ed Sheeran re-releases 5 old EP's

Today sees the re-release of 5 old Ed Sheeran EP's and the first release on his newly formed label, Paw Print Records - the idea of the re-releases is to allow Ed to have full control of all his own material and give all of his newly gained fans the chance to discover all the music he made before his debut album '+'. So yeah, head over to iTunes and improve your Ed Sheeran collection now - Songs I Wrote With Amy is my personal favourite.

Soul Culture TV recently caught up with London-born singer/songwriter Etta Bond, who is signed to Labrinth's Odd Child production label and features on Wretch 32's forthcoming single 'Forgiveness'. During the acoustic performance she did a mash-up of Ed Sheeran's 'Lego House' and 'Old Yellow Bricks' by the Arctic Monkeys - I think it's safe to say she smashed it. Onwards and upwards for one of the most exciting talents to emerge from 2011.
