VLURE, The Honey Farm and Becky Sikasa set for SAMA 2022!Three of the most compelling acts in Scotland will perform at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards (SAMA) prize-giving ceremony at Glasgow’s Saint Luke&#x27;s on Thursday 8th December, 2022.Theatrical electro-rock outfit Vlure, all-female rap trio The Honey Farm and intimate soul songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Becky Sikasa will perform at the 13th edition of the event, supported by Creative Scotland in recognition of the SAMA’s growing significance across the music scene in Scotland and beyond.New music champion Jim Gellatly and highly-acclaimed poet Leyla Josephine will host the evening, which will see awards given to seven of the most outstanding artists working in Scotland today. This year we also welcome BBC Radio Scotland broadcasters Phoebe I-H, and Vic Galloway, actress and comedian Karen Dunbar, and last year’s SAMA Best Live Act winner; BEMZ to help with award presentations.In keeping with the celebratory atmosphere will be a live performance from Vlure, the Glasgow five-piece who fuse intense club rhythms with towering synths, candid lyrics and an ethos that views the dancefloor as the stage for vivid, life-affirming catharsis. Also set to play live is The Honey Farm, the school friends from rural Dunbar who went on to become “potentially the first and only and by default greatest Scottish female rap group of all time”, and Becky Sikasa, a multi-instrumentalist vocalist and songwriter whose SAMA performance will crown a prolific year of single releases showcasing her warm, humane, off-centre soul pop.Hosts Jim Gellatly and Leyla Josephine, who will appear following a UK tour in support of her new collection ‘In Public/In Private’, return to SAMA following last year&#x27;s event where winners included Bee Asha, Bemz, K4cie and Lizzie Reid.This year&#x27;s nominations are:Best Newcomer sponsored by The Academy of Music &amp; SoundLonely CarpP CasoPocket MonicaSinathi Best Acoustic sponsored by BTO BeCreativeBecky Sikasa Fairweather FriendsLewis McLaughlinLinzi ClarkBest Metal sponsored by Hard Rock Cafe, GlasgowAshenspireCatalysisGodeaterParty CannonBest Live Act sponsored by Musicians’ UnionAiiTeeTom McGuire &amp; the BrassholesHannah LaingKaputtBest Electronic sponsored by citizenM hotelsJ WaxGrim LuskKintraSonia KillmannBest Hip Hop sponsored by Help Musicians Becca StarrPsweatpantsSean Focus Tzusan Best Rock/Alternative sponsored by Saint Luke’s &amp; The Winged OxBrooke CombeDutch WineGallusUninvitedFounded over a decade ago by Richy Muirhead, the SAMA have grown in prominence over the years, with past winners including Fatherson, Hector Bizerk, The Snuts, Gerry Cinnamon and Lewis Capaldi, recognised long before his debut EP release.
