Dickon Edwards

Dickon Edwards (born Richard Edwards; 3 September 1971), also known as Dickon Angel, is a St Leonards-on-Sea-based indie pop musician and diarist.

He was a founding member of the bands Orlando and Fosca, and briefly played guitar in the band Spearmint.

He has kept a blog called The Diary at the Centre of the Earth since 8 December 1997 (predating the 1999 coining of the term "blog" - he terms it an "online diary"). Excerpts from the blog were included in Travis Elborough and Nick Rennison's A London Year and in the follow-up title A Traveller's Year.

In March 2008 he released a printed collection of lyrics titled The Portable Dickon Edwards, which was released in a limited edition alongside Fosca's The Painted Side of the Rocket album.

In 2021, Edwards completed a PhD on Ronald Firbank and the Legacy of Camp Modernism at Birkbeck College, University of London.
