Sam Fender is a guy we should all be massively proud of and he showed Newcastle exactly why when he delighted a capacity crowd at O2 City Hall Newcastle on Tuesday.
Sam has become more than just a singer, he is an absolute juggernaut and from bar to bar of each song, he proved that with a set that electrified everyone in the crowd.
From the moment he arrived on stage to the strains of Local Hero, beckoned by yet another amazing display from Wor Flags, to the minute he walked off, Sam had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand, serving up a superb setlist that got off to an epic start with Will We Talk and fired on all cylinders with Getting Started and The Borders, proving what just what a force to be reckoned with he is.
