Disgruntled fans took to twitter to voice their distaste at the use of a backing track in Ed Sheeran’s setlist that closed the Glastonbury Festival this past Sunday – June 25th.
There’s only one problem with their accusations – they had no idea he was using a loop pedal. But what exactly is a loop pedal? Let the man who introduced it to Ed Sheeran tell you himself.
‘Its a unique craft – it’s like watching a painter paint a picture’.
Gary Dunne from Portlaoise and Director of Arts at The London Irish Centre, London spoke with Will Faulkner today and put the issue to bed once and for all before getting into how he met Ed Sheeran in the first place!
