Hello, I'm Daniel Sams, Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a singer based in Yorkshire and have been playing the professional music scene for a number of years; playing many weddings, corporate & commercial events, pubs and restaurants as well as private parties and Christenings. Let me make your event extra special and tailor it to exactly what you want.
I play a vast variety of well known cover songs, spanning the last 60 years of popular music. I pride myself on being very customer focused, tailoring sets to suit your taste, making your event extra special; whether that involves hiring in extra musicians for a bigger sound or offering DJ sets with full disco lighting. I am always happy to learn new material, regularly adding new songs for weddings, ceremonies or first dance songs and Christenings alike.
I play a mixture of acoustic Guitar and Piano which gives a wide and balanced variety for events. Having a large catalogue of songs and multiple instruments, means I am very versatile - from relaxed, chilled music during meals to upbeat party sets to get people to dance and sing along.
I have sung for recording companies in the past, with the recordings then being used for various projects including computer games, tv adverts and radio shows. I also write my own songs. ( Maybe you want to make your day extra special and get me to write your own original song?)
There is so much to organise for a wedding so why not make it easy and let the music take care of itself by choosing your singer and let me tailor a package to suit your desires for your day.
On your day to remember why not have your own personalised acoustic versions of your favourite songs for your ceremony or first dance?
Including sets for ceremonies from £120, which can be personalised for your needs, I will learn your very own personalised acoustic versions of the songs that you want to hear on your day. Drinks Receptions from £300 or even some live music to start off the evening reception including tailored first dance songs, giving that extra special touch.
Whether you would like entertainment for the drinks reception or music all day, send me a message to get a quote.
I offer the option of a DJ set with a high power PA system and disco lights, saving you the hassle of scouring the web to find a DJ. I always work closely with couples on playlists so you get to hear what makes you happy!
As well as solo performances I also perform in a DUO with Davey Wilson (who you can also find on here), playing guitars, piano and percussion. We offer packages for all day entertainment including ceremonies, drinks receptions, party sets and DJ sets for weddings and events alike.
Restaurants and Public Houses etc from £150
Weddings ceremonies from £120
Drinks Receptions from £300

The best gig i ever played id say was playing at the tour De France and singing i want to ride my Bicycle by queen with thousands singing it back to me!
id say fleetwood mac could be the most influential but music is fluid and changes as does your taste, if its good its good every one loves a good sing along and a toe tapper !
i have been Gigging for over ten years now starting just in guitar and moving to guitar and piano and also now loop peddling
i love music and enjoy all events
when playing i play a mixture of guitar songs spanning multiple generations! i always ask for requests and love a challenge! i have added playing a live looping pedal into sets to player a big fuller sound also. expect well known sing alongs and beautiful versions of classics.
Setup time is dependent on which PA system is appropriate for the event. I run 3 PA systems,
A small portable outdoor amp that doesn't require mains power (set up time 10mins)
A medium Pa with mixer at 400w set up time (15-30 mins)
A large PA at 2000w set up time (15-45 mins)

i love requests and encourage them mid set.
previous clients would say i am fun, friendly and will play anything.
i do both before events and on the day! i love a good request and if i know the tune even if i haven't played it before i will have a go at it for you!
This year i have been lucky enough to be part of some amazing gigs festivals and weddings!
i have played such a variety from busking on the street to stadiums over the years but what makes a gig are the audience for me that connection is the best!
