Edward Tudor Pole looks like the sort of person you would regret getting into a fight with, but end up becoming friends with.

Saw him support VooDoo Glowskulls a few years back and he was Top, He dodged a few expertly lobbed pint glasses aimed at his head, didn't miss a word or a chord. Sharp as a tack and funny.
