Welcome to the third episode of The Movies And Me, a new podcast project of ours where each episode we sit down and talk with a filmmaker or someone who works in the film industry about their newest and latest film project or just a big cinephile in general who just lives for movies. We also ask about and discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film or just at the very least inspire them.

On this episode, we are delighted to chat with Edward Randell, Adam's best friend from school and childhood. Edward is a singer, songwriter and a freelance vocalist. He has performed in some of the most well know venues and studios in the world, like for instance Wembley Arena and Abbey Road. He began his music career with the Voice Messengers in France and from 2012 to 2022, he sang and performed with The Swingles. He has also sung backing for artists such as Coldplay, Sam Smith and David Byrne. Edward is no stranger to the world of film. Some of you may recognise him as Justin Finch-Fletchley from Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets. He has also regularly recorded as a session singer on other films which include No Time To Die, Cruella, Raya and The Last Dragon, The Marvels, Doctor Strange, Don't Look Up, the Jurassic World series and The Conjuring 2. He even co-wrote a song that was used in the film Downsizing starring Matt Damon.

Edward has also released two EPs, Mapmaker was released in 2020, and he has a new debut album coming out on May 17th called 'Homing Instinct'. The album is co-produced with Chris Hyson. If you live in and around the London area, there is a launch event for the album at the Crazy Coqs on the 21st of May. You can find tickets here.
