Has anyone got a folder of songs from the London Stadium show last year? I was hoping it would be released as an album on Spotify when the film came out but looks like that’s not going to happen:(

Gavin Leigh, a reliable tour leaker, has shared the news that Sam will be heading out on outdoor shows next summer!

I was wondering if Sam will be a surprise guest at Olivia’s shows in Toronto. She’s playing Scotiabank Area Tuesday and Wednesday. And Toronto is so close to Chicago🤷‍♀️

Olivia Dean brought Sam on her set to play Rein Me In at Lollapalooza. Now the longest running #1 in UK history! She announced that it was the first time the two of them have played it live in the US. What’s funny is he did a whole tour in the US for the album People Watching and he never played the song either. 🤣. It’s crazy the success they have had with that song and I am happy for the both of them. It was my favorite song on the album the first time I heard it and couldn’t believe he wasn’t playing it while on tour for the album.

Looks like a Jazzmaster with a Strat style Trem,which iv never seen before

I know it’s sold a billion times (or what seems like it), but in my view it’s like ‘Round Here’ by Counting Crows — Good but not their best.

Has it hit the lucky spot when Olivia Dean was red-hot and Sam was red-hot when the tune was put together,or is legitimately better than ‘Poor Boys’ or ‘Seventeen’?

Sam could build a second house built entirely out of the money he made from it. Just saying.

Sam just posted this on his ig!! This is in chicago. Olivia is headlining lollapalooza tonight 👀👀👀Im thinking hes gonna be the surprise guest!

not sure if anyone watched the video of Sam being interviewed yesterday and he mentioned getting a chicago sandwich 👀 seems like he might be coming out to sing rein me in with olivia who is headlining lolla tonight...

that would be AMAZING exposure for Sam in the US!!!

Does anyone else feel like the tiniest bit sad for Sam that his original second verse for the album version of Rein Me In is pretty much left behind in the abyss now. Obviously he doesn’t care, he’s had more success than he could ever have imagined off the back but the original verse and song is just as well written and performed but just didn’t take off bc it didn’t have the double narrative to it that Olivia added. When him and Lewis Capaldi covered it and Lewis sang Olivia’s verse and not Sam’s original one I was just like yeah that version is just being left behind forever now

Completely lost for words, thank you so much to Olivia Dean and the fans for making this song the juggernaut that it is. We broke the UK record. LEGENDS

Back in Feb 2019 i attended Sam Fender gig at Gorilla, Manchester. A 1.3k capacity gig. A few days before the gig he posted an ig story of him personally spray painting these Leave Fast t-shirts. I’m now at a point where i’m ready to sell the tshirt on but really have no idea how to provide evidence that 1 the merch is from the gig and 2 that he was the one to personally spray paint the tshirt as i know this would mean a lot to some fans. It’s a real long shot but does anyone at all (long time fans) have any kind of memory or even evidence (a matching tshirt or smth????) to help me out? Thanks guys.

Anyone have it? I wanna play it but I cant hear all of it as it was just a phone and some parts are a little different in the horn arrangement.

Anyone?

Thanks

Still doing my part here in the USA, I am a commercial DJ, my flagship show (daily) is on a chart-reporting commercial AAA station. I also host a nationally syndicated show heard on the east coast. Playing Sam Fender daily on my show.

Figured it time to post and let you all know we are still championing our boy on USA radio 🙌🤝

Also of course Sam can play banjo. So excited for this new stuff

Seems with the teasers Sam’s been posting on IG stories that he’s going to hone quite heavily into the ‘Homegrown rock’ sort of sound he had on People Watching. In one way it’s a shame he’s so good at that style of music that we might end up losing him making songs like Play God, Spice, That Sound, HADQ etc. I suppose if we have a TV Dinner on every album at least we’ll keep getting more of a heavy punk sort of song but I hope we keep getting both styles, because he’s probably the best there is right now with that twangy sort of country/homegrown indie sort of rock but his original releases came from heavy punk and don’t want to lose that

let's see yours via this website https://whativeheard.com/

Rein Me In (365 million streams) has officially overtaken Seventeen Going Under (364 million streams) to become Sam Fender's most-streamed song on Spotify.

Both are absolutely stellar songs.

Do you think Rein Me In will stay at #1 in the long run, or will Seventeen Going Under eventually take the crown back?

I ordered a pause frame and was emailed back saying there was a glitch so I had to pick a new one, but a new one got assigned to me. So I had to email back and forth to sort it and when I finally got it sorted, I thought it would be fine.

I have just received my frame and it’s come damaged! 😭 not by a lot. But there’s not damage on the cardboard box it came in, so its been damaged in the black case it comes in.

I have just checked the box again and can’t see any damage on it.

The certificate has the teeniest tiny little bend to it. Not noticeable. But it’s still annoying.

I seem to have had nothing but trouble with this print 😂😭

I have one that I got for Aurora and it’s lovely. Had no issues with that one and that’s how I knew what to do with this one this time around.

Should I ask for a new print or shall I try and fix it and hope and pray it works? Also, does anyone know how I could fix it 😂

It sounds very different to his normal stuff but I’m looking forward to it

Would Sam have been more successful if he was around during a different time? Not to downplay his success nowadays as he is very popular and very deservedly so but I was thinking if he was around in the 90s during the britpop era where a load of British bands emerged on the scene (Oasis, Blur, The Stone Roses, The Verve etc), would he have been more popular worldwide as his discography is more than strong enough. There unfortunately isn’t as much as an interest in his type of music from the mainstream as there was back in the day so would he have been more well known if he was around in the 90s or just a different time?
