Sam also teaches music theory (and lots of tags) at BABS Harmony College, is on the music team of the chorus Hallmark of Harmony, and is one quarter of both The Sharrow Vale Blues and The Shimmering Bonsai Boys, all Sheffield-based groups.
 
Although his feet feel firmly-planted in the barbershop world, Sam first found a love of singing as a church chorister and has been a choral singer for most of his life, currently performing and recording with professional chamber choir, Borealis. Sam also harbours a huge fondness for vocal jazz ensembles like The Boswell Sisters, The Hi-Lo’s, and Take 6, and considers studying the music of such groups to be as large a part of his musical upbringing as barbershop has been.
