Sam Bailey has announced two special, ‘up-close-and-personal’, concerts next winter, ahead of her first headline tour. 

The X Factor winner, currently at #1 in the UK Album Chart singer with The Power of Love, stole the hearts of a nation in the most recent series of the popular TV show with her soaring spine-tingling vocals and now counts Gary Barlow amongst her biggest fans. 

Immediately after winning the show, Sam went straight to #1 in the UK’s Christmas Singles Chart, with a cover of Demi Lovato’s Skyscraper, ahead of her debut album release which went straight to #1 last week and features the singles Skyscraper, her duet with Nicole Scherzinger And I Am Telling You, and her next single due for release, Compass, written for her by Grammy Award winning songwriter Diane Warren. 

The former Prison Officer has performed since she was 15 years old, but acknowledged real-life ‘“put everything on hold”’ until her astounding X Factor audition stunned judges Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh 

Set to tour the UK with her debut show in winter 2015, Sam will perform two special ‘secret’ pre-tour concerts at the Margate Winter Gardens and the Watford Colosseum on Monday 26 & Tuesday 27 January, 2015, respectively 

Tickets will be on sale from 8am, Friday, 4 April from www.gigantic.com
