Sam Fender

[Father Larry Duff]

There’s nothing wrong with being Springsteen - lite. But to be able to even pull that off you have to be singing from the soul and believe in the lyrics you are writing. It can’t be fake. In my opinion him running down to St James Park like a giddy school girl when the Saudi’s took over practically rendered a lot of what he’d been singing absolutely worthless. A song like ‘aye’ was meaningless . Double standards, fake political awareness, ignorance. It’s sad tbh because he’s obviously talented.

It was fun watching him deny being political in any way when the Saudis took over the mags like. The big light shows at his gigs prior to it happening with satirical imagery of Boris and Trump and songs about war and consumerism mustn't have happened.

 

[Bamber]

Morrissey-lite for cancelling gigs

 

[Ruleigan]

He's far too tied to the small town parochialism to make it really big, which is a shame because he's got the talent to be a global star. His merchandise is properly embarrassing professional geordie stuff.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Strange fan base.
Some lass properly going apoplectic when I said his gigs are a little too NUFC for me to attend.

Shame as I do like his stuff.

Same with me. Wouldn’t mind going to see him live but not with all this NUFC shite

Shite

 

[Jarra Dicka]

Iam not a believer of hating someone because of where they are from or which team they support but I just dont get the hype with him

Lack of self awareness. His Sid James gig was clearly a skunk jamboree.

 

[Becs]

I liked him before. He seemed humble and down to earth. Then he went all super-Jawdee and comes across as arrogant and big headed now. Shame.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

He’s an edgier version of Ed Sheeran.

He’s played a blinder with the Geordie craic, I don’t think he even mentioned the mags once till the Saudis rolled up.

A pound shop Springsteen.

He has a good agent, no doubt

I’ve said this about him on all these threads.

He had no interest in football up until the age of 18 by a mate who was his tutor at school.

His love of football coincided with the takeover and his management company promoting the over the top mag love

They’ve done a fine job for him there then.

The wife knows people in the same music circle as him when he first started.

He had zero interest in football, let alone the mags. As mentioned, as soon as the Saudis rolled up, he played a blinder jumping on the bandwagon.

For the record, I’ve just heard is latest song. Absolute Springsteen rip off!

 

[League Wan]

Same with the boxers that overdo the football connection, should be kept separate as it alienates people not from the area or that don't support that team.
