In recent times, Sam Prowse, 34, has become one of Yorkshire's finest guitarists. Fuelled by his parents love for the likes of George Harrsion, Simon & Garfunkel and Eva Cassidy, Sam was set on learning how to play the guitar from a very early age. Music has since become a huge part of his life and is without question the one thing Sam could not live without. This passion is evident not only in the quality of his music, but also his heartfelt stage presence wherein Sam has been known to play everything from infectiously upbeat covers of well known chart hits, to his own delicately structured pieces with their infinite complexity and emotional variance.
Sam’s repertoire covers a vast range of artists and genres meaning there is always something for everyone to sing along to, but his favourite artists include bands such as Foo Fighters, Linkin Park and Blink 182. His love for the alt scene has truly fuelled his performances in recent years, but don’t let this fool you, he may still surprise you with covers by other artists such as country star, Luke Combs, smooth jazz crooner, Frank Sinatra, classic rocker, Bryan Adams and even pop royalty, Beyoncé!
Whatever your poison, you can be sure Sam probably has it up his sleeve somewhere!
Sam was absolutely brilliant! He was the perfect addition to our relaxed cocktail hour and our guests loved listening to him play. He has a fantastic setlist to choose from and is happy to learn a new song for a small additional cost. He was personable and was quick to answer any queries. He is a very talented musician. I would definitely recommend booking him for your wedding.
We searched for some time to find an artist who fit exactly what we had in mind for our Son and his Fiance's Wedding Party. We both love acoustic guitar and wanted someone who was a 'bit different' and who could fit the sort of vibe we knew they would want.
We watched several of Sam's videos online and after a few moments watching the first one, we knew that we had found the right voice and musician. We were not wrong. Sam did not disappoint, not only with his talent and repertoire but also with his detail for planning and making sure his entrance and set up was streamlined and 'no fuss'. He engaged the guests and was hugely appreciated.
Thank You Sam, you made the night very special.
Sam was excellent. It was a somewhat energetic crowd at the party but Sam took it all in his stride and delivered a great couple of sets. Really made the party. Would highly recommend. Great job Sam!
"Sam is brilliant! He offers a natural acoustic atmosphere that compliments every part of your special day , whether you would like him to play during your outside drinks reception or throughout your wedding breakfast he sets the perfect relaxed tone.
He is personable and reliable as well as having a huge talent. I would recommend him to all my brides.

My husband and I booked Sam for our wedding on the 28th May 2016. We were blown away at Sam's professionalism and his unbelievable talent. Sam played for four hours at our outdoor tipi wedding and created the most amazing, relaxed, chilled out atmosphere we were hoping for. Everyone commented on Sam's music and the diversity of songs he played...some covers, some his own material. We could not recommend Sam enough. Thanks Sam! Mr and Mrs Whittaker xx
