Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Last week, a Greater Manchester gig venue was saved in a first-of-its-kind music scheme led by the ‘National Trust of music venues’.
The Snug in Atherton, an 100-capacity music venue, was given permanent protected status by Music Venue Trust, who purchased the freehold as part of the #Ownyourvenues scheme, which has been backed by more than 1,250 people including Ed Sheeran.
As the first venue to be bought by the organisation under the Music Venue Properties initiative, a project which aims to secure long-term futures for nine of Britain’s most treasured grassroots music venues (GMVs), it was a proud moment for the venue and local community who continue to support it.
