Samantha a huge Shirley Bassey fan recreates the magic and very essence of the songstress with vocals that are so close to Bassey that fans now effectionately call her Shirley . Coming from a Welsh family from Swansea Wales Samantha was brought up on a selection of music but from a very young age would listen to her mother and grandfarher perform on stage singing the hits of Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones influencing the person she is to this day and unknowingly as a child singing happily away to Shirley Bassey songs help mould and create the close Bassey vocals of today.

 

Samantha has always held a close relationship with the stage and entertainment world and as performed on stage since the age of 18 performing in the UK and most parts of Europe but never once was Shirley Bassey far from her heart influencing every song and move she made on stage as if the very soul of her voice belonged to the songstress and it was at this point it was decided that the only way to perform was to pay Tribute to Samantha's biggest idol Dame Shirley Bassey and there we have it The Concert Years was Born .
