Ed Williams joins Azure

It was during 2007 that Ed Williams first joined the ranks of Azure. Ed offered a level of musicianship far higher than most function band drummers. This along with the opportunity to perform one of the most diverse repertoires around, mean that Azure was a natural home for Ed’s drumming talent.

What the Bandleader says about Ed Williams

“After just one performance, it was obvious that Ed was the perfect drummer for Azure. A great drummer is so important for pulling several hundred people on to the dance floor. Apart from his technical skill though, Ed is just so much fun to perform with. He’s so musically creative. He’s always inventing new approaches to performing famous songs; always finding ways to connect with audiences and keep everyone dancing. With Ed every performance is different but absolutely always first class.”
