Samantha Horwill is a South African born singer-songwriter. Discovered at a festival belting out her self-penned tunes on a hay bale, success soon followed as the front lady of a rock outfit including sets at national festivals, endorsement deals and extensive media coverage. Sam moved to the UK to explore her solo career and released her debut solo EP "Figure of 3" in 2007 to great acclaim, being compared to the likes of Chrissie Hynde and Janis Joplin and with live highlights including support slots with One Little Indian Records’ Polly Paulusma, Ireland’s Foy Vance, the great Ocean Colour Scene and a feature on BBC Radio.
2009 will see a return to form for the feisty songstress, who promises to deliver a return to her rock roots.

Yeah definately up for doing some shows. We have been trying to get into Brighton a little bit. So what we could do is both of us try and organise a show in each others "yard"...We support you in Brighton, you support us in T Wells.
Ah no, well we'll let you know of any more shows near you. Can't wait for the Skindred show as I grew up listening to them. Mental! Hope you're all good? Liking your music by the way.
My music is like a morbidly depressed Tori Amos blended with experimental/tortured cello. http://www.tylean.com
