Formed in late 2018, The Samurais started out playing covers and originals gigs in various south coast pubs and bars, and by doing so gained traction and a growing local reputation, culminating most recently in 2022 by being invited to headline some local music festivals including the H&W Dorset Beer Festival in Blandford and Lightening Bolt Festival in Lytchett Matravers. They also performed at Teddy Rocks Festival 2022 and a sell out performance at Poole Lighthouse Theatre for “Live and Unheard”.

In January 2023 they were privileged to be short listed for ‘Best Newcomer’ at the inaugural Dorset Original Music Awards (OMA’s).

The band have been busy working on their own original material, and are currently in the studio recording their debut album.

Their first single “Do What You Feel” was released in March 2022, and their second single “Silence of the Day” released in August 2022 which was noticed by BBC Radio DJ Lucy Ambache who played it on her 1 Sunday afternoon show on BBC Radio Solent along with an interview with Neil. The single was played worldwide on over 50 other radio stations including in the UK & Europe, USA, Australia & S. Africa! Their latest third single is called “New Days” released on Bandcamp on 10th April 2023, and will be released on all other streaming platforms on 17th April 2023.

The band hope you like their first three singles, and many thanks for taking the time to read this.
