Ed's father shared the events from those days saying,

Ed was developing a fearless gut instinct. Imogen and I caught up with him supporting Just Jack at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire.Ed’s soon-to-be manager Stuart Camp was also there.

“The following August, Ed showed us a letter he received from ACM, which included his final results: Fail for Musicianship and Fail for Songcraft – hardly surprising as he never returned,” added John.
