About Sam & Folk

Rock duo
Cranleigh
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Versatile Singing Guitarist with Drum Loops – Solo or Duo Performer I am a dynamic, multi-genre singing guitarist available to book with various bands, or as a solo act. My mission is to serve the client through my performances, creating vibrations which connect with their guests and cater to their event needs. From leading a full-blown shindig to adding a touch of magic to a festive soirée or creating an intimate lounge setting, I bring versatility, originality, and energy to every performance. What I Offer: • A diverse repertoire and style. • Amplification and sound tech suitable for venues of up to 250 guests. • The option for unplugged, roaming performances, mingling with your audience for a truly interactive experience. • Years of experience with an exceptional record of reliability. • A reasoned approach which caters your specific needs, be it learning a song for the first dance, or even a promotional collaboration: Promotional Collaboration: With my focus on working together during the run up to the event, where appropriate I can offer 8+ hours of solo performance for free in or around the venue with a high quality A3-printer poster advertising your event (busking/ in-venue). The Story: Since stepping onto the professional gigging scene at a cozy pub in 2022, I’ve gone on to play hundreds of performances across various venues and events. I’ve hosted karaoke nights, run lively open mics, and even embraced quirky requests—yes, I’ll play Wonderwall or perform in drag if the fee’s right! Career Highlight: • New Year’s Eve 2023 in Haslemere: A packed marquee, late-night sea shanties, and a spontaneous acoustic set. • My Sister’s Wedding: my first time performing for many of my family and son. Playing for loved ones has taught me the importance of connecting with the audience, understanding the flow of an event, and ensuring that the music becomes a memorable part of the day.

Courtlands (

5 out of 5

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you from us all here at Courtlands, for the music you and Sam, The Two Sam Band, provided at our annual garden party earlier this month. The Directors of the estate were thrilled with the success of the party and many residents said it was down to the music this year. You picked up on the different ages and played such a variety of songs, no-one was disappointed. And it’s the first year people actually got up to dance! I had so many emails and people popping into the office to tell me how pleased they were with the music and singing (despite your sore throat!), your choice of songs and that both of you were so smiley and amiable. Even one resident who couldn’t attend but heard the music from his flat just above the party, commented how thrilled he was to hear some of his favourite songs from his youth. Both of you really ‘made’ the party, we received so much praise for the whole event, but it really was down to you creating such a wonderful and cheerful atmosphere and we were so pleased it was such a success. I’ve attached some comments from the Directors, and we cannot wait for you to come back next year!
