Sam told great stories about the songs he played, their history and who had taught him each one. The inventive arrangements and accompaniment, using instruments from all over the world, made a great contrasting backdrop for Sam's traditionally stylised folk singing style.
There was also a lovely moment after Sam's 'last' song when two of the guys from Tinariwen joined Sam and traded verses on a live 'mash up' they'd tried out for the first time an hour and a half before the show. I wouldn't be surprised if they do something together again in the future.
