Earliest Ed Sheeran record expected to fetch £10k at auction

Ed Sheeran's first demo record is expected to fetch £10,000 at auction.

The 'Castle on the Hill' hitmaker reportedly owns 19 of the existing 20 copies of 'Spinning Man' - which features songs he wrote when he was just 13 years old - but one lucky fan could own the final CD when it goes under the hammer next month.

Ed was making money from busking and staying on a family member's sofa when he handed over a copy to one of his relative's friends, and the unnamed person's brother, Kevin, is now selling the record after it was found in a drawer.

Kevin revealed his brother put it in a drawer and forgot about it and didn't realise Ed would go on to be one of the world's biggest pop stars. He also insisted the quality of the songs are really good and revealed the tracks express teenage love and loss, frustration and longing.
