Kelly, Sam
The Lost Boys
As well as being a member of award-winning Cornish folk band The Changing Room, singer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Kelly has been omnipresent on the UK folk scene for the past three years, touring as the Sam Kelly Trio. He was nominated Best Singer at the 2015 Spiral Earth awards, has received numerous plays on BBC Radio 2 and 3 (including a Mark Radcliffe session) as well as features in R2, fRoots, Living Tradition and Fatea magazines. It's easy to see why he has already been tipped for greatness by the likes of Mike Harding and Cara Dillon. His debut full-length album, The Lost Boys, takes the listener to all corners of the British Isles, across the Atlantic, and back again on a musical journey led by Sam's expert vocals, tasteful arrangements, and high-class instrumental performances. Tender, heart-breaking ballads rub shoulders with dynamic, riff-based folk rock in an exciting mix of traditional and original material.
