Ed Sheeran's songs are everywhere: first dances, pub singalongs and the radio. An Ed tribute works for almost any age, and the loop-pedal performance is fascinating to watch.
About our Ed Sheeran tribute
Our Ed Sheeran tribute is performed by Daniel East, who is based in the North West and has travelled the world as Ed Sheeran since 2015, using a Boss RC-300 loop pedal and signature guitars.
Formats, sets and timings
Daniel East performs solo with a loop pedal and his own guitars, in two 45-minute sets or one 60-minute set, with background music available between sets. With two 45-minute sets, one can open the evening party and one can close it. One hour-long show works when a DJ covers the rest of the night. The act can provide background music during breaks.
The songs guests will expect
Every Ed Sheeran show should include the songs people know from the 2010s to today, such as:
- Shape of You
- Perfect
- Thinking Out Loud
- Castle on the Hill
- Galway Girl
- Bad Habits
Set lists vary, so ask to see the current one before you book.
Why this show is worth a look
- He has toured as Ed Sheeran since 2015.
- He is based in the North West.
- Live looping means the songs are built up on stage, much as Ed does it.
The act profile has video and photos.
Space and set-up
Ask us what equipment comes with the act and what the venue needs to provide. Acoustic and loop-pedal sets suit quieter rooms, so they are a good fit for a drinks reception before the main party. Allow roughly an hour for set-up, ideally before the room fills.
Where a Ed Sheeran tribute works best
- Weddings: Perfect and Thinking Out Loud are two of the most popular first-dance songs.
- 18th and 21st birthdays: A current star younger guests love.
- Pubs and festivals: Acoustic-led but loud enough for a crowd.
- Family parties: Songs that children and grandparents know.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the room quiet enough at the start for an acoustic build-up?
- Do you want Perfect or Thinking Out Loud for a first dance?
- Is there a sound limiter, and at what level?
- Will you need a microphone for speeches?
We'll pass your answers to the performer.
