Sam Letts

About Me

Hi, I'm Sam and I'm a singer/songwriter. I live and work in Leicester, and the surrounding area.
I write what my dear friend and boss would call folky bollocks, but each to her own and having discovered that the rock scene was not ready for me to wail at them I decided this was the way to go.
I'm a pagan, which I believe plays some part in my writing, I'm also "both ways" meaning I like girls and boys just the same. I like to taste the rainbow!
I love all sorts of music and am currently working on new material.
Good things that have been said about me and my music:
"I feel your songs are full of magic" Terry Pratchett (2006)
"Sam Has a beautiful voice" Francis Black (2006)
"I love Sam's voice, and she writes songs that make me look into myself" Cassandra Easton (2007)
Reviews about me:
"Incumbas/succumbas were this year supported by newcomer Sam Letts, a singer/songwriter from the midlands.
Sam has a strong, clear, beautiful voice and writes in the same vein as popular folkster KT Tunstall, our very own Rachel Stamp or dare I say a touch of Fiona Horne. Because although Sam is very much in the Nu folk genra, she has a bit of rock and roll underneath that quiet persona, ( Libertine being a great example with it's catchy chorus and angry lyrics) something I hope she continues to explore, because every witch has to have a bit of rock in them somewhere. Sam's lyrics evoke emotions and memory's of lost and found love with nods to the Goddess at every corner. This girl deserves to be big.
There's talk of a follow up gig at Witchfest Wales in the future, so look out for Sam at a moot near you!"
