Each week Singing Harpist Sam Hickman tells you all about her week, her work and her life. You will learn what it takes to be a free-lance musician in the gig economy.
This week Sam get's fired, Wows an audience, steels a poster, get's caught in a sex scandal with the new pope, finds a million dollars on the street, fights a wood pigeon for dominance over the flock and also still finds time to do shows and make a fabulous costume.

This week Sam is deep in rehearsals for her Brighton Fringe Debut and trying to remain grounded in the face of such staggering success!!!
Frustrated by Cold, Hunger and the crushing weight of professional failure, Sam Hickman returns for another podcast Episode to discuss mostly getting a new garden table and to dispel myths and rumours surrounding her Brighton Fringe Show. Tickets: https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/sexy-rude-harp-concert/
In this episode of the podcast, Sam Discusses the highs and lows of 2023, her professional successes and failures as well as an indepth look at the making and executing of 'Ho Ho Hickman, A Christmas Sam-stravaganza'
Please enjoy this kinda bad recording of the Final Performance of 'Ho Ho Hickman, a Christmas Sam-stravaganza'. There is someone loudly coughing throughout, but I sound incredible and like I'm having a lot of fun. So enjoy that.
Just a warning, this ep contains descriptions of Sam having to kill mice... which is not a particularly pleasant experience and I'm not 100% sure why she kept talking about it.
This week no one is safe as Sam rages again the establishment and fights for her life to get a half decent story out. Oh boy, what an ep... not really but it's all content in the end...
Please enjoy this podcast version of last night's set. for a full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLvV-K2ls_Q&ab_channel=SamHickman To Donate to the fundraiser: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/frances-bolley?fbclid=IwAR25PJq-rLNqoUxg7Y9BKRd_i1YZXZXEkuDngV81O7AbL3YemYc0pGqsqRQ
This week Sam has been drinking and thinking! 'Leave when you're ready!' She went to Manorbier for 'Riptide Festival' and Pontcanna for a wedding, she went all over the place! Tyres! etc. 6th Sept, The Moon Cardiff Event details: https://www.themooncardiff.com/events/adhdfundraiser 24th Sept, The Moon, The Frances Bolley Variety Hour (details to be announced shortly)

This week sam is treated kindly by a stranger, disrespectfully by a company and passionately by a lover. If you want to come to the thursday event: https://www.cityhospice.org.uk/forever-flowers-2023/ If you want to come to the Cabaret set: https://ardouracademy.com/p/alexa-1208/
She made a suit, played two weddings and is planning a tour! Our Girl's gunna be fine!
Nothing is going to plan, but our gal Sam is on the side of a building, pounding the pavements and seeing Beyoncé! so it can't all be that bad... stay tuned to the end of the episode for 'Round The Bay' a demo of a song, which, if there's ever another opportunity for your friend to get back on a stage again, will probably end the 'Sexy Rude Harp Concert', which is the next project btw.
Hello Friends, Remember me?! Sam is back for a special recap edition of the podcast in which she tells you all how SHVH came to be and the financing behind the project. Thank you again to all how came, performed, and supported the shows.
Just Sam's bit from the final SHVH including the songs: -At Least We'll Have Tonight -Lower Your Expectations -Come Inside -We Will Be Together Again -Here I am Again.
Please join me and my fabulous guests 11th Feb @ WMC https://www.wmc.org.uk/en/whats-on/2023/sam-hickman-variety-hour
The WMC SHVH has been postponed to the 11th February. Sam is thriving, and hates her halloween costume... There's a very boring bus story and also a lot of sewing discussion as well as the formal campaign launch of 'Just Add another Hundred' the campaign for all harpists to just start adding at least another hundred to all their damn quotes so we can pay our energy bills this year.
Friday 26th August! Come to 'An Intimate Evening with Sam Hickman' At The Glory Stores! Tickets are free with the promo code 'PoofDeProvence' https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-intimate-evening-with-sam-hickman-tickets-389864042847
GET YOU TICKETS! 29th October 2022! at WMC! https://www.wmc.org.uk/en/festival-of-voice/artists/sam-hickman-variety-hour This week Sam discusses, busking, the 3rd and final SHVH, Welsh [Plural], the allotment and the 2005 Made for Tv adaptation of 'Once Upon A Mattress'. You're Welcome.
Here is the show with some more bits in it. You can stream the songs from our guest artist on spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3NUaW773zq4JzsqytlFuf4?si=hccgegfMRmWHGyZZVHrHLQ Thanks again for everyone who performed and everyone who attended! Hopefully, we will be together, again!
There was a rat in my garden and none of the cats helped. I have to paint my guest bedroom. I love Champagne.
The Second Half of The Sam Hickman Variety Hour, featuring our wonderful musical guest Frances Bolley! https://www.facebook.com/FrancesBolleyArts
The first act of The Sam Hickman Variety Hour, which took place 21st Jan 2022 featuring Leith Ramage, Electra Complex and Frances Bolley. Electra's numbers have been taken out of this audio because it would be weird to listen to a lip-sync and also probably copywrite claims etc. Join us again in two weeks time for the second half and hopefully the video content will be out soon as well.
A look back on this wonderful year of tremendous success.
THE SAM HICKMAN VARIETY HOUR! Soon to be postponed/cancelled or just erased from history... We'll have to see... Buy tickets! https://www.shermantheatre.co.uk/event/the-sam-hickman-variety-hour/

Happy Pride Month, from a grant recipient. Well gang, this time your friend sam talks about finally being in with the in crowd, the allotment and basically just being in a damn mood for a full 2 months as a result.
This week sam discusses her star turn/celebrity cameo in Casualty, which was filmed months ago and came out Saturday.
