Will Edgar has performed hundreds of times across the UK as a regular performer in the North West. Although he may be 17, do not be fooled as he has the capability to transform any set into a show. Will has performed at venues such as the Club Academy, The Invisible Wind Factory, The Empire Theatre, The Deaf Institute, The Camp and Furnave and The Ferret as well as played on many festival lineups including Reading and Leeds Made In Manchester, Bolton Food and Drink and Right to Roam, all for his original music.
In 2023, Will also got the opportunity to play for His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla when they visited Bolton for a town celebration. The same year, Will also made the final of TheVoiceKids for Team Danny on ITV. All while this happened, he has gigged non-stop around the UK on average 2-3 times a week gaining experience from the crowds and now puts on an amazing show in any venue.

Will's writing originally stems from acoustic pop and acoustic song-writers, being influenced by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, however, as Will has progressed, his sound has taken towards a more Folk and Country based sound. Currently, he is influeced by writers such as Tyler Childers, Damien Rice, Noah Kahan and Turnpike Troubadours, clearly being shown in Will's work. Will is recognised for his acoustic songwriting which has been compared to the likes of Bob Dylan (Pete Waterman), but transforms his songs on stage to full band peices, creating unforgettable atmospheres. Being a UK folk artists is also very hard, however, Will manages to break through and proves that his music is for everyone and not just a select few.
One of Will's latest releases is Can't Decide, recorded with Simon Moore (Ian Brown's solo career drummer), Steve Power (Kim Wilde's Pianist), Lea Mullen (George Micheal's percussionist) and many more. Produced by Andy Ross (a Mercury Nominated Producer), this is one of Will's best produced tracks, alongside Mars and I Love U? These songs have major influences from the pop scene because of the musicians used on them, backed by the songwriter influences.
Below find 4 tracks, these are demos made from Will's garage! (You may need to download them to listen, sorry)
