Are You Bringing the Fiddle Back Into Your Music?

Suzie Explores is a podcast series focussing on the nature of creativity and curiosity. Bringing her unique perspective of the world of music and beyond, Suzie joins forces with a host of luminaries in the creative field to explore what it means to be an inspired human being in this world.

Today my special guest is the American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sam Amidon. You’ll be transported to North London where we will discuss everything from the wonderfulness of Hampstead Heath, to creating folk song albums, recording undisciplined voice-memos and learning to be a fiddle player in contra dancing bands.

Sam said so many memorable things in this podcast. One of my favourite insights of his was about learning different skills: ‘It’s very unpredictable how things are going to be useful, but they almost always are!’
