About Sam

Fresh alternative rock and pop singing guitarist with powerful vocals!
Guitarist
London
Public liability insurance of £5 million

Sam M is a fresh singing guitarist with powerful vocals with a lot of range, and talented musician to boot! His specialism is in rock and pop, though you will also find a fair few soul, reggae, and punk favourites in his repertoire. Sam performs vocals with either an acoustic or electric guitar and can add backing tracks if required. The acoustic set works for smaller spaces, whereas the electric set is perfect for larger rooms, and those who are really wanting to maximise the impact of their event! Whether you go for the acoustic or electric set, Sam will be sure to surpass your expectations - with previous clients reviewing him as a “superb musician” and being highly recommended time and time again. Sam has been performing as a solo act and as part of a band for a considerable amount of time, and therefore knows how to keep his eyes and ears on his clients and audience to ensure you all are having the best time ever. Sam comes to every event fully prepared and briefed, follows schedules, checks in with coordinators to ensure a smooth operation, and is happy to take on board requests and schedule adjustments throughout the day and night too. Sam likes to think of himself as Jack Black from School of Rock. Monday to Friday Sam teaches kids in school how to be in a band, and on the weekends he brings party music up and down the country to weddings, corporate events, and festivals. Sam has a distinct and versatile voice that lends itself perfectly to pop and rock. Sam’s voice also marries up beautifully with soul, reggae, and punk too. Sam has got an extensive repertoire of over 100 songs covering the best pop and rock hits with a touch of soul, reggae, funk, disco, punk, and jazz to nicely round off his repertoire. Sam attends each event fully briefed and with a PA and lighting system so that he is fully self-contained, which makes booking the entertainment as simple as clicking the 'Book' button!

(Sam performing as part of the band The Riot Dogs) I just wanted to say a huge Thank You to the guys for our bash a couple of weekends ago. They were absolutely unbelievable and we have had so many people saying how brilliant they were. They were friendly professional and hugely talented, and we were so lucky to have them. - Birthday Party, Suffolk

(Sam performing as part of the band The Riot Dogs) The band were fabulous, they are superb musicians, they played great music and were very accommodating. They were perfect for our wedding and I am sure they would be just as brilliant at parties and other functions. Thanks guys for a great evening's music. - Wedding, Hampshire

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes! I've got over 100 songs you can pick from.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, all PA equipment is included in your quote.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it, so please don't hesitate to ask! If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am more than happy to do this for you, free of charge. For every additional 'off-the-menu' song there is a fee of £50 to take into account rehearsal times etc.
