The singer-songwriter is well noted for his love of acoustic guitars and he told The Sun that he's got 11 of them.

However, he said that he ends up "kicking the s***" out of them on stage as he indulges in performing live. Sheeran said:

"I love many of my guitars. My guitars are boy guitars and I've got 11 of them. The reason they are boy guitars is that if you look at them, they are covered in sweat, they are all cracked and bruised and broken, dirty and I literally kick the s*** out of them every night."

He continued: "If I was to call a guitar a girl, that's pretty messed up, man. Who would you rather beat? A woman or a man? I'm saying a man."

Speaking about the names he gives his guitars, the 'A Team' man added: "I've got James the second, I've got Trevor, I've got Keith, I've got Lloyd, I've got Nigel, Cyril and Felix. It started off with really awkward names like Lloyd, but now I name them after my team. My lighting guy was called James and the guitar James broke so now I've got James the second, my guitar check is called Trevor."

Jon Pike, Head of Content & Marketing at VidZone concludes “With such an iconic brand and history steeped in dance music culture, the decision to partner with Pacha for an Ibiza takeover was an easy one to make.

With previous releases for labels such as In The Red, Woodsist, Castle Face, Captured Tracks and Sacred Bones under their belt, The Fresh & Onlys have already carved a name for themselves. Now they return with their fourth LP, the big, sprawling and woozily psychedelic ‘Long Slow Dance’ (or ‘L.S.D.’).  

The quartet—Tim Cohen, Shayde Sartin, Wymond Miles, and Kyle Gibson— got started in 2008 and look exactly like a biker gang composed of record store employees who could stomp your ass while shouting Kobaïan (that language ‘70s French prog band Magma made up) at you, if they felt like it. So, it’s cool if you feel a bit unnerved when first meeting these four shaggy San Franciscans, even if that meeting only occurs via their songs.

 There’s something very bad-ass about their music; it’s entirely assured and brazenly unique. You are free to think of them as part of a vibrant Bay Area scene (because they are) or try to link them to the nu-garage movement of several years ago (which is a stretch). 

Whichever contextual lens you use, it hardly matters. The band is so comfortable with mixing and matching seemingly disparate genre elements at this point that, as a listener, it’s easy to feel like a mouse batted about in a corner by a housecat. It is tasteful, of course, and it does this at the service of forceful songs—frequently witty and often lovely songs. That’s the real reason it’s difficult to stop playing this album once you start. 

So there you have it—The Fresh and Onlys, back to mess with your head and have you say “Thank you.”
