Streetsleeper is the sixth single by Scottish singer-songwriter Samuel Alexander Barbour released on the 30th November, 2019. 

Based in Hong Kong since 2007, Samuel has built up a successful career as an experienced and well respected primary English school teacher. He combines his love of writing original songs & stories with his love of teaching youngsters and thus far the results have been far several award-winning school drama productions and children's songs and a lifetime of happy memories!

Most recently in October, 2019, Samuel won the Best Children's Song Award at the Clouzine International Music Awards for his Peter-Pan inspired debut single, Far Across the Night Sky. The song also reached number #37 on the top 40 chart of April's Scottish New Music Global Chart. The title track of his debut 5-song EP, Hope (Love Never Dies) also reached number #32 in the November, 2019 chart respectively.

Since the release of the EP on the 8th March, 2019, all five songs have received over 80 individual radio airplays across the world from Hong Kong to Scotland, England, Canada, South Africa, Australia & the USA respectively

Samuel wrote Streetsleeper heavily influenced by seeing homeless people firsthand whilst travelling in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong and was moved to try to write a song for the 'people with no voice' without any bias or prejudice towards them or their situation. Influences include Gerry Rafferty, James Taylor, Paul Simon & Ralph McTell. 

Streetsleeper was written in February 2019, recorded in Scotland in August, 2019 and was released on the 30th November on CDBaby and all other major digital distributors. Produced by good friend Stephen Bull & mastered by Pete Maher.  100% of any sales/streams proceeds from this track will be split 50/50 between two registered charities for the homeless: The Social Bite & ImpactHK. I really hope that you can purchase the song for this good cause. Together we can eradicate the awful disease of homelessness affecting millions of people across the world each day and night. 

I am also delighted to announce that I performed Streetsleeper & Caledonia Dreaming live at The World’s Big Sleep Out at Central Harbourfront, Hong Kong on the 7th December, 2019. (My birthday!) It was an amazing experience and I was truly humbled to take part. 

Streetsleeper also reached #34 on the top 40 chart of December’s Scottish New Music Global Chart (SNMGC) which I was delighted about. Since its release, it has also had notable airplay in the UK, USA, Australia & South Africa including on Jim Gellatly’s Amazing Radio Sunday Show among others.
