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.
