With his sweet guitar licks and warm, soulful voice that brings the sunshine, bluesman Sam Lindo has been brightening up Nottingham shoppers’ days for the past 20 years. Always smiling, his relaxing mix of Elvis-style singing and Hendrix-like playing has proved a winning combination with people of all generations.
“People seem to like what I’m doing and look forward to hearing me,” said the-then 50-something Jamaican-born musician back in 2004. “I try to play the music that makes people feel good.”
Playing guitar since he was 14, Sam began busking in the city in 2002. “If I can play my music, make somebody feel good and put a smile on somebody’s face, then I feel it’s worth my while,” he says.
