Sam Garrett

Sam Garrett plays Portsmouth Cathedral on Friday 3 July, with Ian Jamieson opening the evening. It's an intimate live music night in Old Portsmouth, and since it's a Friday, it works as a start to the weekend rather than a mid-week thing.

Garrett is an English singer-songwriter whose music draws on his time spent with Eastern philosophy, meditation, yoga, and Rastafari wisdom. He describes the result as soulful and devotional, and that's a fair way to put it — it's music that looks inward, with the spiritual side of things sitting right at the front rather than as a background detail. If you're into soul or devotional music, that's where this sits.

Ian Jamieson opens the night, so you'll get two acts in one sitting. The main set is Garrett's, and the whole thing is live music from start to finish. It's a night for adults who enjoy a live gig, and the cathedral setting in Old Portsmouth puts it in a different space from a usual club or pub date.

The evening runs from 19:00 to 22:00, and tickets are £35.
