Edith Bowman
The Free Will Tour is being headlined by none other than Edith Bowman, who will play a set at every stop on the tour. Bowman will play her pick of the latest and greatest from the world of indie and alternative music, alongside DJs playing a wide range of other styles from chill out, soul and hip hop to funk breaks, broken beats and electro house (see Tour Dates for details).

Edith Bowman's television debut was in 1997 as a news reader on MTV UK. She went on to host many shows for the station, including co-presenting the chart show Hitlist UK with Cat Deeley, with whom she also presented Hit Music Sunday on Capital FM in 2001-2002.

She became a presenter on Channel 4's breakfast show RI:SE when it launched on the 29th of April 2002, staying with the programme until teaming up with 'Colin Murray', who had also worked on RI:SE, on 29 March 2003 to present Colin and Edith on BBC Radio 1. In April 2004 this show moved from a weekend morning slot to weekday afternoons, broadcasting between 13:00 and 16:00.

Meanwhile Edith's TV career has continued, including a triumphant result on the 11th of March 2005 when she won the TV talent show Comic Relief does Fame Academy, a charity music contest.

Later in 2005 Edith presented BBC Scotland's coverage of the Live 8 event at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and hosted the network's "T in the Park" programmes together with Dougie Anderson. Also in 2005 she hosted the Q Awards with Colin Murray live on BBC Radio 1.

Edith has presented the BBC3 TV coverage of Glastonbury, T in the Park and The Reading Festival with Colin Murray for the last few years, and in 2006 she hosted the TV coverage of the first BBC Electric Proms with Zane Lowe. Edith was a regular guest presenter on Top of the Pops up until and including the last episode. Edith has fronted various music programmes for "Channel 4 presents..." over the years Edith has interviewed artists from both stage and screen including Liam Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Kylie and U2.

A massive lover of all things musical and film based, Edith is a self-professed film buff and a keen gig-goer. She has a monthly column, aptly named 'Bowman's Blog', in the award winning Clash Magazine and regularly takes to the decks to DJ at events across the UK.
