Sam Holland
From his inception into the band following the Covid pandemic in 2021 Sam has flourished beyond measure into a top-line professional, with his guitar work exuding not only a technical ability, but a personality which helped bring the best out of the band’s repertoire without ever making it about himself.
On behalf of the band and crew may I say what a joy it’s been working with Sam over the past five plus years, and wish him every success in his future endeavours together with a peaceful and happy personal life".
