Edward Larrikin (born 25 April 1986) was the lead singer of the band Larrikin Love. Although on his band's forum he claims that his real name is Liam, this is an "in joke" between him and the rest of his band, who have always tried to encourage a sense of confusion and alliteration where the names of the band members are concerned. Several friends of his have confirmed that Edward is his real name.
There has been quite a bit of speculation as to his sexual preferences following the release of Larrikin Love's first single Six Queens, which is about crossdressing and prostitution, however all speculation is entirely unfounded, as he has been in a long term relationship since 2003 with "Alice" who is noted to have designed all the artwork for the Larrikin Love albums and singles, as well as the film which formed the backdrop to his play, Camusflage Krokodail at it's first performance in March 2008. He claims to have lost all interest in living in Britain and now wishes to emigrate to France. He plays many folk based instruments including the guitar, mandolin, ukulele and others. Recently he contributed vocals to friend Patrick Wolf's single Accident and Emergency.
