A Decade of Antics’ marks the 10 year anniversary of Samantics: a celebration of the moment when he found the thing to do with his in his life which at last made sense. To earn his slice of the infamous pie he’d tried teaching, graphic designing and being defecated on through a telephone but nothing had helped him understand the struggle of existing, until he created Samantics.
Starting with just loop pedal, a ukulele and all the words he could find, he began playing every possible open mic, discovering the thrill and catharsis of performing, from expressing all the things he’d bottled up for so long. Over the next ten years a hobby became a career, developing and fine-tuning what has been increasingly described as one of the most energetic, heartfelt and honest stage shows people have seen.
Those ten years have taken him to some of the biggest festivals in the UK, sharing stages and posters with bands and artists he’d grown up listening to and getting support and love from Radio 6’s Steve Lamacq. Samantics has even spoken in the Houses of Parliament about the impact creativity can have on mental health. Even politicians listen to him.

Samantics
Samantics is a one man machine of honesty, energy, words and noise. Using lyrics to portray his own unique vision of the world we’re all wandering, he speaks and shrieks from the centre of his erratic heart. Using a trolley full of sounds, including ukulele, bass, beats, piano, harmonies, blips and bloops and more, all brought together with loop station and sampler to create a hot pot of powerful, noisy poetry. It’s not quite hip-hop, but it’s not quite not.
