Sam Ryder to play National Album Day launch show
completemusicupdate.comIn his role as one of this year’s ambassadors for UK National Album Day, Sam Ryder has announced a special launch show at London’s Lafayette later this month.I’m not sure that’s really in the spirit of a day that celebrates the art of the album.
Everyone should be at home listening to albums, right? Though I guess the gig is not actually happening on the big day itself, so maybe it’s alright.And there is an album connection with the show, so that’s probably enough to swing it.
Because the event will see the Eurovision runner-up preview songs from his upcoming debut album, ‘There’s Nothing But Space, Man!’, with proceeds from ticket sales going to War Child.“With my debut LP out in November, I couldn’t be more THRILLED to launch National Album Day with this exclusive concert to celebrate the journey of creating an album”, he says. “I’ll be performing brand new songs and some special favourites, and in the process we hope to raise much-needed funds for War Child and for children affected by conflict, not least in Ukraine.
Can’t wait to see you there and sing our heads off”.Even the process of getting tickets to this gig has an album connection, so I’m now fully reassured this has been properly thought out.
