We were looking to develop some live music events in our 200 seat venue and booked Sam for 3 events to launch the venue and at each Sam was professional and provided perfect entertainment for our audience with a range of songs to suit a wide demographic. Sam was a a pleasure to deal with and we would be delighted to book Sam again for any future events. Steve Cutbush - Director

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
