Iron and Wine, aka Sam Beam has been hard at work making folk rock for 12 years, with his work compared to the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Neil Young and John Fahey. Prior to that, he was a film studies professor, working out of Miami University. His big break first came when his home-recorded track was featured as part of a free CD on the front of Yeti Magazine, courtesy of a friend passing on his tape to the publication. This concert will see him return to his folk and acoustic roots, in an intimate setting in the heart of London's West End.

Songs from his five studio albums have featured on various tv shows and films, including House, Grey's Anatomy and the first Twilight movie - in fact, his song Flightless Bird, American Mouth was handpicked by the film's star, Kristen Stewart for the end prom scene. His work mainly comprises rock and folk, although his latest album Ghost on Ghost, is more influenced by pop and R'n'B.
