Saturday 30th of July was my 3rd time of playing at the ‘Friends of the Leicester Samaritans’ (SAMS) Beer Festival in Leicester. This is definitely one of my favourite gigs of the year and to keep being asked back each year is a real buzz.
They have a long weekend of live music, great local food and stacks of Real Ales, Ciders and Wine and as if thats not enough Pimms aplenty.
My session was a 2 hour set in the small hall playing some jazz, pop, blues and rock tunes, and seemd to be well received by everyone with loads of singing along to some of the tunes.
The aim is to raise as much as possible to keep this truly vital service running. This I believe has been a record year with over £4000 towards the funds.
I will keep you updated as to next years events as I have been asked back again.
Thanks to Lance and his team for making me feel welcome and for the beer tokens!! See you next year.
