BFBS Music Specials

From humble beginnings in the North East, to festivals and stadiums across the UK and Europe, Sam Fender has claimed his spot as one of today's most exciting artists.

He won the Critics’ Choice Award at the 2019 Brit Awards and his debut album ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ was released in September 2019.

Here Sam talks about how his music is fuelled by his belief that great guitar music still has the power to change lives and influence people. He tells Amy about his incredible rise from playing pubs to touring with the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Liam Gallagher.
