Sam Hughes

Sam Hughes began studying guitar at the age of five, forming his first band, Siege with Sean Streets whilst still in school. At eighteen, he joined the Progressive Metal outfit Draven on lead guitar but quickly tired of the band's "Dark", heavy image and they split soon after he left in early 2005. A chance meeting with another old school friend, Tommy Stone then led to the formation of the more Classic Rock- orientated Piranhas, a band that would eventually evolve into Street Light Fortune. After recording and touring together for nearly three years, Street Light Fortune split in late 2007 and Hughes accepted Tris Palumbo's long- standing offer to join Club Le Shark. After the split of Club Le Shark in 2009 Hughes concentrated on solo projects until forming Sansara with Chris Holmes in 2011. He has also had acting roles in his brother George Hughes's films The Mover (2005), Remnants (2007) and The 26.2 Pint Marathon (2010) as well as providing the scores for all three of them.
