   About Sam
I am a singer-songwriter, currently living in Worthing, West Sussex. I've just moved back down here after a gap of over 20 years.

A bit of background... my first band was in Moseley, Birmingham, a fairly standard indie type band. My next band, Easytiger, was in Malvern, and we just played loud and fast. Easytiger were like my family and I still miss them... sigh...

When I moved to Cambridge, I found I couldn’t get the rest of Easytiger to come out of their caves in the Malvern hills and join me, so I found myself on my own doing acoustic solo stuff.

The songs on here were recorded a few months ago. Some of them are fairly new, some are songs that I wrote years ago and just rescued from the bottomless depths of my lyric book, thinking they might bear a second listen.

I am not doing much music at the moment because I am just about to give birth! :-)

Hey Sam !

Like your songs - reminds me of that gig we did at Frogs all those years ago.

Good to hear from you. Yeah we are still going strong - with a slightly different line up and without the monkey suits. Bringing out some new tunes soon too.

Come back to Malvern and catch one of our many gigs (we have a residency at the Mount Pleasant dont you know) or better still get us a gig with you in Cambridge - we like to travel.

Keep in touch.

Ralph.
