Samson & Delilah
Samson & Delilah are a dynamic 5 piece Australian/British folk-pop group based in Manchester, led by the songwriting partnership of husband and wife Sam Lench and Anna Zweck. Having played as a duo and in several bands within Manchester´s burgeoning nu-folk scene, Sam and Anna joined forces with Michael Doward (Double Bass), Tom Rydeard (Drums) and Tammy Hermann (Flute, Piano, Accordion). Their self-titled debut album (2009) led to airplay on 6 Music, shows at several UK festivals, and a nomination for Best Debut Album by Spiral Earth.
The band´s second album `And Straight On Till Morning´ is an innovative record of chamber folk with `melodies as sturdy as great hymns´ (The Guardian). Recorded in a Victorian concert hall, the album captures the band´s strength in live performance, totally at ease with each other and their songs.
“Psych folk lives on. This should be a band to watch” (The Guardian)
“Uplifting pastoral folk with a twist” (Mike Harding, Radio 2)
