MICHAEL EDEN has only ever needed a microphone & his amazing voice to stop a room dead in its tracks. He first came to the attention of promoters singing Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' a cappella from a dancing pole above the bar of a well-known Sheffield haunt & often leaves the stage during On You Softly, heavy-breathing to the audience through his phone mic.

"From sulky indie rock to the sublime: Michael Eden started his set perched precariously above the bar singing into a radio-mic, before taking to the stage for what is a pretty unique show. Looking like Spike from Buffy, and sounding like a fallen choirboy, Michael plays sparse guitar, set against a background of subtle loops and multimedia projections. The main focus of the singer-songwriter is, of course, his voice, which soars through the higher octaves, emoting dark lyrics about such cheery themes as lost love and mental illness. The show is nothing if not theatrical, one track seeing Michael wander into the crowd singing into a telephone. Pretentious? Maybe. But Michael Eden has a startling talent and that rare thing in the local gig scene, ; an original live act" (Pete Mella - Sandman)
