SAM LEE AND FRIENDS - THE BALLAD OF GEORGE COLLINS
PRESENTED BY TINA EDWARDS
Sam Lee, Mercury Prize nominated folk singer, promoter and animateur will release his debut album "Ground Of Its Ownʼ in June 2012. The recording is a musical manifesto, reflecting the artistic journey Sam has taken so far and the lessthan conventional route getting there. A naturally gifted voice, singing was new to him until his first encounter with folk song some 6 years ago. This discovery of a new world compelled him to abandon hiswork as a trained visual artist, teacher of wilderness survival and moonlighting as a burlesque dancer and embark on a journey into the old songs of The British Isles. Sam is fast becoming accepted as a newpioneer, defining the sound, sight and texture of contemporary folksong. He was given the 2011 Arts Foundation Award, which for the first time, honoured folk music amongst the art forms. Likewise his liveband, Sam Lee and Friends, carve a new acoustic with their homemade and mongrelised instrumentation using unconventional and contemporary arrangements that challenging preconceptions of what ʻtraditional folkʼ should sound like.
