Sam Bradley - Half Moon Putney, London - 26th August 2013

Our Fab London Show Reporter, Katie shares her experience:


Set list:
Science Prevents Me
You Don’t Mean Nothing
Too Far Gone
Details
She Moves Me
Lights
Go Back

 Sam Bradley performed to a packed venue at The Half Moon last night. Performing acoustically and solo with no band really showed his vocal talents. Despite being jet-lagged, as he had only returned from the US the day before, he entertained everyone in the room.  

It was great as a fan to hear Details as he hasn't played this in a while. She Moves Me was a highlight of the night. Sam's clear vocals and a silent attentive audience made this a memorable song and they showed their appreciation with loud applause. 

Sam's set was part of a all day festival and the crowd loved him. 

His intro's to songs were as entertaining and funny as ever. Sam's talent as a singer-songwriter and as an entertainer keeps getting better and better and he gained many new fans.

Check out Katie's brilliant video capturing Sam's performance of You Don't Mean Nothing.

Sam Bradley rocked The Islington in London last night! This was Sam's second consecutive sold out London gig this year. 

Sam's stage presence and confidence has increased by leaps and bounds, and he knows how to give the audience what they want.

Performing with a full band that included his sister Grace Lindsey lent even more energy and passion to Sam's music. 

The worldy audience had members from not only London and the UK, but fans from Texas, New York and Europe also turned out to see him perform! 
Sam’s witty stage stories included anecdotes to (and about) friend and fellow musician Marcus Foster who was in the audience.

Singer-Songwriter Ryan Keen, was also in attendance supporting his former tour mate and friend.   

The show was one of the best we've seen.  We continue to support each success Sam embraces and look forward to his very bright future in the music biz.

Sam Bradley Night and Day - Manchester Gig Post

SHOW REPORT


Night & Day, Manchester, 23 July 2013

SET LIST

Daniel Beddingfield’s “Intro”
Science Prevents Me
Bless Her Soul
Woman You Crazy
Little Sister
Not Your Kind
Only Human
Pain In My Heart
You Don’t Mean Nothing
Back Around
Too Far Gone
Lights
Go Back 
Soho Whores
She Moves Me


The anticipation of seeing Sam with a live supporting band was immense, and I can confirm that my expectations were met and succeeded.  When you love an EP so much, and are used to listening to versions of your favourite songs performed live by the artist, solo, you wonder what the sound will be like with an accompanying band.  Well, it was more than satisfying.  


Playing at Night ‘n’ Day Café to a crowd of about 30-40 people, Sam thanked everyone for coming and gave a shout out to his support act Shauna Mackie (who is worth checking out).

His set began with a instrumental introduction to a Daniel Beddingfield song that soon ran into the opening chords of ‘Science Prevents Me’ swiftly followed by the magnificently catchy ‘Bless Her Soul’.  The effect of the full band meant that you got to hear every little added chord, beat and bass-line all the more clearly. Although Sam and his band have only been together for a short while, the chemistry and timing was fantastic.  


Sam appeared to be in his element, interacting with all his band mates as well as getting the audience involved and giving us the usual anecdotes prior to most of the songs in his set.

Moving on to “Not Your Kind’ and the added layers of a live band brought an unexpected emotional element to the song.  As the cymbals crashed, it was as though the sound was echoing the lyrics – like waves crashing and fighting the tide of the realisation that he is “not your kind”.  

With “Only Human” the song began with a marching snare drum sound and the electric guitar solo at the bridge was amazingly overwhelming.


Sam tried his best to get the party started towards the end of his gig, coming down from stage and beckoning the audience up to dance, but to no avail – alas the restraints of a small crowd.  However, soon afterwards people began dancing and clapping along in their chairs feeling the full force of Sam’s stage presence and no longer able to merely sing along and smile.  

Sam with a band smashed the noise out of his live performance.  He seemed to come even more alive on stage – if that is even possible – and enjoyed every second of his first live performance with his band.

Sam Bradley - Show Report(s) Glasgow, Scotland


Nice ‘n Sleazy
Glasgow, Scotland
20 April 2013


Setlist

Science Prevents Me
Woman You Crazy
Soho Whores
Passport
Lights
Go Back


Show Report by:  Mags Campbell


A roomful of inebriated Glaswegians is always lively. So imagine how rowdy a Glaswegian hen party is. Anyone who knows anything about Sam Bradley could instantly see the possibilities for hilarity when he’s put in a room with a hen party and he really did deliver! He interrupted their celebrations and invited the bride-to-be onstage to sing to her, to cheers from her friends. Luckily nearly everyone got Sam’s sense of humour when he serenaded her with Woman You Crazy.

Sam was his usual energetic, edgy, intense and hilarious self, meaning anyone who didn’t know who he was looked nervous and unsure whether to laugh while fans were laughing and enjoying the bonus comedy with the fantastic music. Some of the songs might be fun but that doesn’t detract from the power of his voice. In fact, the jokes in between numbers only accentuate how good Sam is as a musician. He gets a room going, with laughter, but mostly with awe when he lets loose and sings something like 'Lights'. All round, he’s a brilliantly unique performer.

There's no doubt that Sam leaves his audience wanting more and vowing to go back to see him play again as soon as they can. Surely there’s no greater compliment or testimony than that.




Show Report by:  @Geordiechick1 & @AAAMcD

The Nice ‘n Sleazy’s venue downstairs was an intimate room with plenty of space for an ample crowd.  The place filled up pretty quickly and it soon became clear that tonight’s audience were going to be energetic, vocal and that there would be no room for ballads on this set list. The audience were talkative and the place was buzzing especially with the addition of a hen party ,who sat at the back of the room, yet made their presence clear from the onset.

From the get go, after introducing himself as Sam Bradley with a spot on his chest, Sam drew the audience in and what better way to engage an audience but to invite the hen up to the stage for an extra special rendition of ‘Woman You Crazy’.

The males in the room were particularly amused and entertained by both Sam’s escapades and tales of what inspired him to write ‘Passport’ and everyone thoroughly  enjoyed the lyrics of ‘Soho Whores’,  joining  Sam in a chorus of “Don’t tell the wife”.

In between songs Sam was hilarious as usual, even treating us to a few bars of R Kelly’s “Bump N’ Grind” proving that he has great... ahem...’moves’.   He kept the crowd riveted, laughing and singing along for the whole time he was on stage and had them more than geared up for the headline act, Ryan Keen, with the cries of “I say Ryan Keen, you say Sam Bradley”  10/10 for marketing! 

It was evident by the end of the set that the cheers in the room proved that we’d all thoroughly enjoyed Sam’s performance and would have welcomed more.

Collectively between us we’ve attended 10 gigs of Sam’s over the last 16 months and we both agreed that tonight’s was by far the best we’ve seen from Sam yet; not only for his musical talent but also for his skill and ability to capture the audience’s attention and maintain it throughout his set.  Newcastle and Glasgow were two very different gigs and Sam delivered perfectly on each occasion.  We cannot wait for the EP release in May and are certain that if Sam’s reception on this tour is anything to go by, he will be a well deserved headlining act in the UK in no time.

Sam Bradley - Show Report(s) O2 Academy Newcastle

O2 Academy
Newcastle, UK
19 April 2013




Setlist

Science
Too Far Gone
That’s How Strong My Love is (cover)
Little Sister
She Moves Me
Lights
(Charles Manson Speech)
Go Back




Sam’s musical/comedy show continued last night in Newcastle at the trendy venue, O2 Academy (part of the Academy Music Group.



Another talent was discovered when Sam recited an excerpt from Charles Manson’s speech from NBC’s 1987 interview.  His oration/performance of this was almost as impressive as his musical skills, making us think a career on the "dramatic stage" can also be on this young man's horizon.

Video of Manson's speech can be found here at the 3 min mark.

Another Fan Report from Newcastle!
 by:  Geordiechick1 and AAAMcD


Having seen Sam Bradley several times in London during the last year, we were extremely excited at the prospect of him playing at venues further North as per our frequent requests.





Friday night Newcastle – Since becoming fans of Sam, our kids have naturally become accustomed to hearing Sam’s dulcet tones and harmonies, having forced our musical influences down their throats all of their lives. They themselves have since become fans of Sam’s by proxy, so we were really excited to be able to take them to a local gig.  Swedish House Mafia who?



Joel was first up with his set, warming the audience nicely, followed swiftly by Sam who performed a combination of upbeat tracks and ballads and received a warm reception from a crowd of serious gig goers who were there to appreciate real live talent.  Appreciate they certainly did, as was evident by the queue to meet Sam afterwards and to buy his CD’s.

double your fun

Speaking with Sam after the gig, he told us the general feedback from the tour so far was very positive, and when commenting on his humorous interaction with the audience, he joked that he had been asked whether he was “a funny singer or a comedian who sings!”




Verdict from our teenage boys?........ “Totally awesome!”
