Sammy Horner
Celtic troubadour, Irish Rover, Raggle-taggle Gypsy… Not your average Celt!
Sammy Horner
Based in the UK, Sammy Horner travels the world singing songs of faith and justice. His stories are infused with an infectious Irish sense of humour.
Like most Irishmen, Sammy doesn’t take himself too seriously.
But this raggle-taggle gypsy is serious about communicating with people. He records and performs songs of substance with global themes of spirituality, social concern and tough love. Being Irish, he also sings the odd soul-stirring song and traditional tune.
Whether he’s strumming a guitar or pounding his bodhran (Irish drum), Sammy Horner engages with his listeners, drawing them into his world and challenging all who hear him to think. He gives people permission to laugh at themselves, and at him.
But he also leaves his audience pondering universal truths and personal issues.
A Sammy Horner album is a collection of well- crafted forceful, thought-provoking material.
A Sammy Horner concert is a cèilidh. It’s a party. It’s serious fun!
