Ervin Munir

Norfolk based Ervin Munir is an indie solo acoustic singer/songwriter who writes heartfelt songs about life and social injustice. He performs these solo and in his band. His influences are Paul Simon, Neil Young, James Taylor and the Eagles.

Ervin grew up in Camden, London. Initially his father wouldn’t let him listen to any music other than classical and Disney songs. Eventually, in the 70s, he bought a Simon and Garfunkel album and that’s when his interest in performing music began. One of his early highlights was performing “The Boxer” at a folk group hosted by Peggy Seeger in the 90s.

He also started writing songs in the 70s and has only more recently started to release some of them. He released two singles (The Return and Fall Apart) and produced an album of local musicians’ original songs in 2015. More recently he co-wrote “Keep Rollin’ In” which was released in 2022 and performed by Cutting the Mustard at ‘Lightening Studios’.

As well as song writing, he performs solo at local venues and helps run the popular open mic “Rock the Lobster”. You can find him performing in his band or solo all over North Norfolk.

His has been releasing singles more regularly since October 2022 and his debut album "Broken Compass" was released in December 2023. Mostly recorded in his own studio (except "Carolynn" which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London) this is an beautifully put together album. His second excellent album "Pure and  Simple" was released on January 31st 2025. It was produced by Aeron Z Jones.

Tina Blaber, in collaboration with Ervin, wrote a song called "The Book" which was released by Tina Blaber (performed by Ervin and "Cutting the Mustard") in January 2025.
