REDDITCH musician Sam Ostler is hoping to hit the high notes when he performs at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham later this year.

The singer songwriter will be performing at the inaugural Oakland Foundation Charity Ball in September.

Sam, who works for Oakland International, has volunteered for the foundation since its official launch by HRH The Princess Royal in June 2013.

The aim of the foundation is to help children and their families, in Redditch and Bromsgrove, who are in need, offering support through schools, youth organisations and via educational programmes based on health and nutrition, education and sport.

Sam said: “I’m really looking forward to playing and showcasing some of my new tracks with many of the people who have helped me get to where I am today.

“Supporting the foundation is fantastic and allows me to give something back.”

Sam, tipped as one of the county’s most promising new artists, had a busy 2016 with the release his debut EP She’s Leaving, supported by numerous tours and headline slots.

2017 will see him play the Playhouse in Manchester alongside the Firestone Stage supporting James Blunt at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham in November.

Oakland Foundation trustee, Hayley Smith, said: “Even though Sam’s diary is pretty busy these days, we’re thrilled he still makes time for volunteering for the foundation and continues to support a music band for pupils at a local school.

“We are delighted he has agreed to perform at our inaugural charity ball and that he will be with us as we celebrate the work of the charity.”
