On line, there's a little viddy too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/oct/28/sam-lee-gypsy-folk-music Freda knows "The Bitter Withy" and lots more which can't be bad! |

Mind you, maybe I just don't get out enough. Jude Rogers is on the judging panel and she has sung at Sharp's folk club, so he must have one vote at least. |

So this thread is the first I've ever heard of Sam Lee. From the little I've just listened to I really like his voice; but that "George Collins" video... oh for f@cks sake... is it serious.. is he taking the piss ??? He looks a complete twat. "The video features some incredible contemporary dance choreography which heightens this dark pagan tale of water sprites and those that cross beyond that threshold for those sweet ruby lips… Sam revised the song with burning nightclubs in mind." yep.. reminds me why I loathe middle class tosser 'Arts' journalism.. punkfolkrocker - uncouth product of provincial council estate + Polytechnic post-grad Culture & Ideology courses.. |
