HAILING from Devon, Sam Brockington returns to his home town of Tavistock to headline the Wharf this Sunday (April 14).

After relocating to Bristol, Sam began to focus on shaping his sound and following, becoming a regular on the festival circuit, with highlights including Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds and BBC Biggest Weekend.

Inspired by the pace and diversity of the city, Sam’s music has now matured into a fusion of alternative indie whist still preserving that earnest and warming singer-songwriter edge. BBC Introducing have hailed him as ‘a fantastic vocal talent with huge potential’.

Sam Brockington’s homecoming show is part of his European tour. Having recently headlined gigs in Paris, Lisbon and Copenhagen he is now ready to set Tavistock alight.

Sam said: ‘It’s always a joy to come back and play the Wharf, it’s the first venue I ever played at an open mic night when I was 15 years old so it’s mad to think how much has changed in that time and that the Wharf was a stepping stone in the right direction for me as a young aspiring musician! Therefore, it’s really cool to be able to offer support slots upcoming local musicians bursting with talent.’

Support on the night comes from two other local singer-songwriters, Ronnie Cook who is now making a name for himself in Falmouth and being supported by BBC Introducing and Liv Allen. At only 15 years old the young singer-songwriter is already taking the Devonshire live music scene by storm. Certainly one to watch!
