Sam Fender paid tribute to the man who used to run the pub that played a huge part in his music career, as he played his 'biggest gig yet' at Finsbury Park on Friday night.
Weeks after his stellar set at Glastonbury had music fans declaring him an 'instant icon' of Worthy Farm, North Shields rock star Sam and his talented band had another career defining moment when they played to a massive crowd in the famous London park. The gig was so big that Sam and his team decided to have two stages, which were home to an array of different acts.
Sam's support acts included Newcastle rapper Kay Greyson and Heidi Curtis, the North Shields singer who has been supporting him on tour, as well as opening for other acts like Paolo Nutini and Gerry Cinnamon.
