Edward Joseph Friel[1] is a Northern Irish musician and music teacher who was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1962. He is a B.Mus. Honours graduate who in 1986 started his professional career as a music teacher. After one year he decided to pursue his talents as a musician and composer in local piano bars at home as well as in Canada and Europe, where he travelled for a year.
