    You heard it here first!!!

    I assure you, this lad will be the next big thing coming towards the end of this year and the start of next. He is absolutly brilliant!!!

    and you'll have heard this song on the tv lately

    Sheeran began recording in 2005, which led to the release of his first EP, The Orange Room EP. Sheeran also released 2 albums, a self-titled one in 2006 and Want Some? in 2007. He moved to London in 2008 to play gigs, starting off in very small venues, playing every day, to as little as five people .

    In 2009, he played lots of gigs. Ed said that he read an interview with James Morrison that said that James had done 200 gigs in a year, so Ed said he wanted to beat him on this number. When he ran out of money, he left his flat he was renting and started 'sofa surfing' around London, he has been doing this ever since, even after he signed his deal

    In April 2010, after leaving his old management company, he bought a ticket to LA, with no contacts other than one poetry night. He played open mic nights all over LA, before being spotted at 'The Foxxhole' by Jamie Foxx, who invited him to stay at his house and record for the rest of his stay

    On 12 April 2011, Ed put on a free show to fans at the Barfly in Camden. Over 1000 fans turned up to see the show, so Ed Sheeran ended up playing 4 different shows to make sure everyone saw a gig, including a gig outside on the street after the venue had closed. Sheeran underestimated the amount of people that turned up and was overwhelmed.

    You are the next Louis Walsh for your ability to pick out talent!

    I agree with ye though, A-Team is a great song!

    There is nothing on his website about any official fan club, so I think what they may just end up doing is sending out a code for the pre-sale to anyone who has joined his mailing list. Have you joined that? (on his homepage you can enter your email address).

    Somebody (;)) signed me up for it a while ago, so if I get the email I'll let ye know.

    I can see online the pre-sale code for his North American gigs was Thinking and it seems to be widely available, if I get the code I'll post it in here.

    Did you sign up for the mailing list on his website by any chance Niall?

    Same question being asked on Boards.ie and one user just confirmed that they got the pre-sale code emailed to them for the Wembley gigs after joining the mailing list recently. Although, I don't remember getting such an email!

    Well if the 1D w@nkers can sell out multiple nights why cant he?, he is extremely popular both for his music and the fact he always comes across as a top bloke who could take it or leave it as far as fame is concerned once he gets to gig.

    I hear ye, but I just dont see him doing a venue like croke park justice. I'd much rather see him in a venue like the olympia..........maybe even the point.

    I brought the missus to see Michael Buble in the Aviva a couple of years back and as much as he tried and had a savage vioce the venue was too much for him, one man on stage in an open air event to 80k people :eek:

    I like his music but decided against going to this one.

    €75.55 per ticket is too expensive in my opinion.
