Running Fire

Promoting some of the best upcoming and unheard of music

THE JOURNEY TAKEN by singer-songwriter + multi-instrumentalist Sam Winston to his latest release ('Damaged Goods') hasn't been straightforward. It has been a circuitous route, with several hurdles to overcome including health problems and a self-imposed 4 year hiatus from releasing his first album The Fire & The Icicle (2016). 

However, as is frequently the case, it's in these very hurdles that Sam found new creative strength. A conscious expression of his vulnerabilities is what underpins the spirit of the new record. "Damaged Goods is a statement about losing my core and letting go...about being okay with not being okay."

In addition to supporting Boy George on tour in Amsterdam, Sam has toured Belgium and Scotland with the support of Scottish guitar makers Bailey Guitars, a company who only use 100% renewable energy. This fact is important to Sam who owns and plays various Bailey instruments. When they were losing their factory, Sam aided them by curating a compilation album of his and others' works. Profits from it helped secure the Bailey premises. 

Various notable gigs for Sam include Dartford Festival; twice selling out the renowned Mick Jagger Centre; Folk On The Dock Fest; supporting Henry Priestman of The Christians & headlining the BBC Radio Stage at Chatham's Steam Fest.
