Ed Sheeran to play HMV centenary show for 700 fans at new Coventry venue

completemusicupdate.com:

Ed Sheeran has announced that he will play a free show to 700 fans in Coventry next month to mark HMV’s centenary.This all makes sense, of course, because Sheeran has definitely shopped in HMV before.

I bet he even has an HMV carrier bag stuffed in the back of some drawer somewhere. The musician himself explains: “HMV is a store that I spent a lot of time in growing up and a place where I discovered lots of new music, so I’m looking forward to celebrating this milestone with them”.The show will take place in Coventry’s new HMV Empire venue, marking its long-delayed opening, that delay being the fault of the good old pandemic, of course.
