I'm with Betsy... as someone who remembers Northern Front from days long gone I've always held the impression that Ed's surname was "Pigford". I can't remember exactly where or when (either not quite that sad or succumbing to memory loss... I prefer the former!) but it was definitely stated by either Nick or Mike on at least one one occasion. Looking back, it may well have been said as a joke but it stuck! Doesn't detract from the fact that Ed has written some cracking songs. Would be good to see Northern Front again if they ever had a mind to regroup!
