WEDNESDAY 11th JUNE
SAM CARTER
A welcome return to the club of Sam Carter, a BBC Folk Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. Sam is renowned for his narrative-rich songwriting, which Uncut described as being ‘as penetrating as Richard Thompson’s best work’ and he is a highly-regarded instrumentalist: ‘the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation' (Jon Boden). For over 15 years, he has been stirring audiences from Camden to Canada, from major festivals to intimate clubs. Sam’s live performances are captivating, filled with the raw honesty, humour, and skilled musicianship that underscore his standing as one of contemporary folk’s brightest talents.
‘From the moment he stepped onto the little stage at Frenchay Village Hall, you could tell it was going to be something special.’ (Ant Miles, Downend Folk Club)
‘A singer who can hold the audience spellbound all by himself.’ (Radio 2)
