"Sam Merrick is a British singer of ever growing repute. Having had the privilege of sharing the stage & performing with some of the top names in Jazz, he now performs across the the UK, pleasing audiences far and wide with the likes of The Nick Ross Orchestra, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra & other projects on the London & UK Circuits."  

Autumn 2020 saw Sam featured on a number of tracks on The Nick Ross Orchestra's anticipated brand new album, 'Sounds of the Glenn Miller Era', of whom he has been touring with for over 6 years. Recorded at the world-famous, Abbey Road Studios in London back in March 2020 and released on Montpellier Records, it includes a whopping 17 tracks all paying homage to that magical era of music.

"...to complete the vocal array, on came the slight figure of Sam Merrick... (and) again, excelled, taking ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’ and sundry other favourites for an altogether pleasing ride."

I am a musician, composer and former music teacher born in Wales but now living in the beautiful City of Lincoln in England with my wife, Sarah, our two beautiful daughters and my youngest son, Ieuan.

Although these days most people see/hear me as a pianist/keyboardist/singer I am primarily a euphonium player and have played solos all around the UK, Europe and in the USA since the age of 12. I was the principal euphonium with Championship Section Woodfalls Band throughout 2012 and, prior to this, I was solo euphonium with Portsmouth Citadel Salvation Army Band from 1986 until 2010.  I feature as soloist on their CDs 'Victory' and 'Journey Through Time'. I have also featured as soloist with SA 'composite' band 'Fuoco' ( http://www.4barsrest.com/reviews/concerts/con202.asp?l=in ).  I was also vocal soloist and, later, pianist for the acclaimed Portsmouth Citadel Songsters, singing solos on 3 CDs, playing keyboards on 5, euphonium on 2 and was the main pianist on the most recent CD 'Take My Life' ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=take+my+life+portsmouth ).  I am Bandmaster of the Lincoln Corps in The Salvation Army and travel around the country with my 'One man Variety' show that includes singing, piano, euphonium solos and comedy.

I was lead guitar and a songwriter for 'Blood & Fire', one of the leading Christian Rock Bands in the 1980s, and later singer/guitarist with 'Cross Purposes' and singer with 'The Big Picture'.  I have written 313 songs (to June 2020) including 4 full-length musicals.  One of these, 'Gethsemane' was successfully revived recently and it is hoped a CD and tour will follow in the coming years.

A solo CD of Christmas songs 'My Christmas Wish' was released in 2001 and recordings are now ongoing (June 2020) for a 2nd CD of original songs  which will be released on completion and also a 2nd CD of songs I sang in the Singing Company (Junior Choir) as a child - updated and rearranged.
