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. He has toured with Van Morrison as a piano player and features extensively on Van Morrison's album Hymns to the Silence.

In 1995 he represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Dreamin'". The song finished a disappointing 14th place with 44 points; Norway won the contest, breaking the three years Ireland staged the contest.[2]
