Dickon Edwards (born Richard Edwards;[1] 3 September 1971), also known as Dickon Angel, is a St Leonards-on-Sea-based [2] indie pop musician and diarist. [3]
He was a founding member of the bands Orlando and Fosca, and briefly played guitar in the band Spearmint.[4][5]
He has kept a blog called The Diary at the Centre of the Earth since 8 December 1997[6] (predating the 1999 coining of the term "blog"[7] - he terms it an "online diary"). Excerpts from the blog were included in Travis Elborough and Nick Rennison's A London Year[8] and in the follow-up title A Traveller's Year.[9]
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.[10]
In 2021, Edwards completed a PhD on Ronald Firbank and the Legacy of Camp Modernism at Birkbeck College, University of London.[11]
