Carol Lee Sampson

Hello - just a small introduction from me for those of you who may be visiting for the first time....my motto for my life is:

'DO WHAT YOU CAN,

WITH WHAT YOU HAVE,

WHERE YOU ARE' (Theodore Roosevelt).

I love that - because it takes the pressure off! We don't have to compare ourselves to others, or stress over what we can't do, or don't have! We all have unique giftings, which have been given to us for a purpose - to ultimately help and bless others. So I try to use my gift, as humble as it is, to do just that. I hope you enjoy what you hear, and if you do, please help spread the love, the music and the message to those around you.

God bless you... Carol xxx

As well as song writing and occasional gigging, I have the privilege to play regular daytime solo sessions in dementia units, and rest homes, experiencing first hand the wonderful effect that music has, on the folks that I sing to.

My aim is to communicate encouragement, joy and fun through the music, and especially with these sessions, I try to 'tap in' to individuals, and bring songs which may trigger a connection or a precious memory or two. Armed with percussion instruments, guitar or piano, (sometimes my dog Roxy), and an ever increasing song list, I'm loving every minute of this particular daytime music venture, finding great reward in the wonderful smiles and responses from the old folks!

AIRPLAY ON BBC Hereford & Worcester

These are my songs which have been picked as tracks

of the week on BBC Hereford & Worcester, over the last year or so - featured by their 'Introducing' programme.....exciting to have heard them played several times a day for the week that they were featured!
