Eddie's musical career started when he was made head chorister for the school choir. With the choir he gained the Deans and Bishops award received from the Royal School of Church Music. With the choir he performed on Songs of Praise and at Disneyland in Paris on two occasions. At the same time his interest in drums began.

At college he took part in playing in the school’s jazz band, performing at local concerts and charity events. During this time he was recognised by a band, The Tell Tale Hearts, an Indie/Punk band, and went on to support The Damned at the Gloucester Guild Hall.
