Samuel Yirga’s ‘Hagere’ // 03.08.11

Samuel Yirga’s first solo EP has landed on my desk (and is available from all good music retailers) with a cover shot from the photographs I took back in February - it’s Samuel Yirga, sitting at the piano in The Wood Room at Real World Studios on February 24th at 16:30:13 GMT to be precise.

Samuel Yirga’s ‘Hagere’ Photographed by York Tillyer

Sammy was at the WOMAD Charlton Park festival last weekend, so I had him in my lens once more, he seemed to captivate the audience with the debut of his new four piece band on the Charlie Gillet stage and again in appearances with Ethiopian/UK group Dub Colossus.

A great festival was had, but milky skies for the majority of the event gave a slightly flat experience to those seeking photographic joy - although there was still plenty to catch the eye.
