Event overview
Sam Lee will be talking about how he created a collective and a strong network to support his work and give us insights into how he balances his many activities.
Mercury Prize nominated folk singer, song collector, award winning promoter, broadcaster, animateur, and naturalist Sam Lee has transformed the profile and visibility of what was a niche artform, folk music. His work fostering live music in the UK has been instrumental in the explosion of folk of the last decade. Sam reinvents not just the way these ancient songs should sound but how they can be sourced, exist and thrive, from conscientiously gathering them in Gypsy Traveler camps to singing them for the Hollywood big screen.
Hosted by the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship, ICCE Salons are a series of talks by influential and inspiring people in the creative and cultural landscape.
