Open Artist Sessions (now Online Artist Sessions!) are monthly, intimate and informal Q&A's for FAC PRO members with an experienced artist or industry figure. They aim to provide education, advice and help to nurture our artist community.
 They are free and exclusively for artists. Spaces are limited, so we recommend signing up quickly to secure a spot.

About Sam Lee

Sam Lee plays a unique role in the British music scene. A highly inventive and original, Mercury Prize nominated singer, folk song interpreter, passionate conservationist, song collector and successful creator of live events. Alongside his organisation, The Nest Collective, Sam has shaken up the music scene breaking boundaries between folk and contemporary music and the assumed places and ways folksong is appreciated. Sam's helped develop its ecosystem inviting in a new listenership interrogating what the messages in these old songs hold for us today. With his latest critically acclaimed album, Old Wow, he’s summonsed up a truly compelling and emotional album that takes his work to yet another level. Likewise in 2021, Sam releases his debut novel 'The Nightingale, notes on a songbird' telling the epic tale of this highly endangered bird and their place in culture folklore, folksong, music and literature throughout the millennia.
