What's that, you thought you'd made it through all of the blog anniversary
posts? No such luck. Not quite ready to stop celebrating as I received a
belated and very very exciting video a couple of days ago. Arriving into my
inbox after my first day back at work readying our shop to re-open tomorrow,
this was such a treat. Not just a live video, but an unheard track and a short
film (which is hilariously brilliant) from one of my favourite musical humans,
Sam Beeton. Somehow I haven't seem Sam live since late 2013, and I
think this is the first new music (online, at least) from him in... years?
Ahhh! Exciting!
A little back story: Sam was the support act the first time I saw
The Hoosiers live. He was brilliant and we used to tweet a lot, and I
signed up to his 'Record Club' through which he posted out a CD to fans with a couple
of brand new tracks, usually once a month. A couple of months after the first
show, I organised for him to play at my school fête as part of his house tour.
A musician popping round to my house for tea and cake made me suddenly (and
temporarily) cool. Over the next couple of years I saw him playing a few more
shows, including my first ever gig in London and a support slot for
Charlie Simpson.
I managed to borrow Sam for some modelling and chatting to camera for a few
different projects for my Media Studies class. We made a music documentary
extract (complete with
blooper video), an
album cover and a few pages from a music magazine, which I suppose was my
first foray into music journalism - still really proud of that work!
Anyway, watch the video... and then head to Spotify (or wherever you listen to
music) to listen to his 2015 record
In The Yard, it's gorgeous. Also, I took his current Spotify photo... claim to fame!
Thanks Sam!!!
