Sam Fender paid a subtle but poignant tribute to home at Glastonbury, that went unnoticed by many, but was picked up on by people watching back on Tyneside.
After an already amazing 2022, which has seen his fanbase grow even more and him and his band earn five star reviews thanks to a strong of sell out gigs across the UK and Europe, as well as winning at the Brits and NME Awards, North Shields musician Sam finally got to make Glasto debut on Friday night.
The area in front of the world famous Pyramid Stage was jam packed as Sam and the lads burst onto stage not long after 8pm and launched into a set that fired on all cylinders. There was a distinct Geordie feel to proceedings, with saxophone player Johnny Bluehat, as he so often does, wearing a NUFC top, a Magpies flag on stage and Sam swigging from a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale before dedicating The Dying Light to any Geordies who were in the audience.
