Ernie Ferriday was born in Rugby on June 12 1957. After a successful career in finance, he retired in 2009 to focus on a career as a novelist and also manages Narrow Plains, a three piece acoustic-based folk/rock group from London, UK. He is married to Elaine and has 2 children, Dr Danielle Gamwells and Charlie Ferriday. He lives in Chapmanslade, Wiltshire.

Using his full name, Ernest Ferriday, his first novel "Retribution" (ISBN 1858631939) was published by Minerva Press in 1993. Retribution is a fast-paced thriller set in the early 1990s in London and in Germany. His anti-hero, Roger Garney, is a ruthless, alcoholic city investment analyst with no moral scruples. He promotes a Germany company that is a financing vehicle for a neo-Nazi group bent on plunging Germany into civil disorder and seizing power. Garney undergoes a series of cathartic experiences that lead him into regretting his previous actions and plunge him into direct confrontation with this powerful and shadowy neo-Nazi group.

He has also been manager of Narrow Plains since 2012. Narrow Plains are a three-piece acoustic based folk/rock band, based in London. Charlie Ferriday (lead vocal, guitar), Roger Connick (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Stuart Connick (percussion, backing vocals) self produced their debut EP "Somewhere in Between" in February 2012. They have also self produced a number of live videos of their songs since. All of these have been released straight to internet and they are gaining a growing on-line following. They believe passionately in live music and over the last eighteen months or so they have regularly performed at diverse gigs, mostly in London at a number of prestigious venues such as the 100 Club, Proud Camden, Barfly, Shoreditch Festival and even a one-off gig at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. They are due to perform at the 02 Academy 2 in Islington in the headline slot on September 27.
