Sam Kelly and Jamie Francis

Friday 26 May 2023 – 7.30pm

Tickets available from: www.wegottickets.com/event/573055

Sam writes and arranges most of his material with his main musical collaborator, Jamie Francis. After meeting at university in Brighton in 2010 and discovering a common interest in roots music, Sam and Jamie began playing together in a folk band, with Jamie (a guitar player first and foremost) deciding to learn to play the banjo because Sam was already the guitarist. They also performed at many open mics and venues as a duo, performing original, folk and blues songs.

Naturally, the lives of two young musicians who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing became choc-full of many colourful experiences (including Sam auditioning for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent whilst in London for a gig, and ending up getting all the way to the final). They still perform together at folk clubs, venues and festivals, performing inventive interpretations of tunes and songs in between (occasionally) funny anecdotes and stories of their misadventures. Many of you will know them from Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys!
