My first guest on today’s show was the wonderfully talented swing singer Sam Knight.

Sam who is from East London popped into the phoenix FM studio to chat about his busy year ahead and also treated us to a live session.

Specialising in Swing Music, Sam has been described as a “natural and confident entertainer” with a powerful smooth voice”. He has a unique style of singing the music of the swing legends (both old and new). He is not just a tribute act but an act in his own right and brings a breath of fresh air to the swing classic.

Sam has performed in front of a variety of audiences, include intimate club gigs for 20 people, through to casinos, shopping centres and even a firework display in front of 7,000 people. In December 2014 he headlined his own Christmas Show, all this yet Sam is only 19 years of age.

The first time I met Sam was whilst hosting a  phoenix FM promotional stage for `Help the Hero’s and the Brentwood Festival  in Brentwood town centre, where at the end of his set we done an un- rehearsed  duet rendition of `aint that a kick in the head`a bit like a photo bomb but a music version!!
