Isle of Wight music promoters Real Live return after a 3 year absence this month with a truly world class performer.  Sam Brown – previously lead vocalist with Jools Holland’s R’n’B Orchestra, famed for her multi million selling album and single ‘Stop!’ as well as being lead backing vocalist on Pink Floyd’s last two world tours (and incidentally Joe Brown’s daughter) returns for one night only to play Ryde Theatre.  With ‘The Very Best Of’ recently released and a new studio album imminent Sam has taken to the road for the first time in nearly 2 years with her one woman show: Just herself, her piano, ukulele and bass guitar creating a charming, revealing and highly charged atmosphere with a mix of old, recent and brand new songs.

 

Support will be provided by Staff Brett (www.staffbrett.com) - "A great unique voice delivered with feeling.  Check him out!" (Sally Taylor - BBC South Today.)

 

Widely traveled Isle of Wight musician Staf recently released his third solo album 'Sunseeker' to notable critical acclaim.  This led to invitations from the BBC to perform two live radio sessions which proved great successes.  With influences including The Faces, Stones and Del Amitri, Staff's soulful blues tinged tunes and distinctive vocal - 'The right side of Rod Stewart' (Briggy Smails) - has enjoyed major audiences at both the GuilFest (2004/2007) and Millennium festivals although it is perhaps better suited to the more intimate surroundings of a theatre.

 

 

“Sam’s last solo performance on the Isle of Wight sold out in advance and a lot of people who had left it to the eleventh hour were disappointed so I would advise booking relatively early particularly as there are no Southampton or Portsmouth shows” said organizer Jon Mortimer. ‘We felt if we were going to do this again on the Isle of Wight we better make it good – with Sam and Staff I know it will be.”
