Hello Dear Friends

I have a big announcement that I want to tell you about!

For the past four years I have been partnered with Patreon, the unique crowdfunding platform that allows artists like myself to offer exclusive content in exchange for monthly pledges.

To date, my Patreon account has exclusively focused on music education, but this is about to change! 

Today I'm launching a new ‘Platinum’ Patreon membership. It’s specifically designed for those who want to support my performance work and receive some amazing opportunities in exchange! 

WHAT I’M OFFERING

Over the next few months I’m looking to identify six ‘super fans’. *

Each ‘super fan’ will be invited to pledge a modest monthly fee. In exchange, you’ll get exclusive access to some truly amazing experiences!

For one:

  • You'll get the chance to have me come and perform a solo concert for you every year!

    I’ll tailor said performance to your specifications. For example, perhaps you want to host an intimate concert in your home and invite your friends and family. Or perhaps you’re planning a party or a wedding and want me to play some amazing background music for you. You may be saying at this stage, “I live a long way from you Samuel, is this concert option realistic?” The answer is yes, because concert experiences can be online as well as in person. In short, all options are on the table for this unique opportunity! **

Additionally, by signing up to my new ‘Platinum’ membership:

  • each month we’ll make time to hang out together on Zoom and talk about music! Alternatively, you can use this as a guitar lesson if you want to learn how to play!

  • you’ll get complimentary tickets to any of my official tour dates.

  • you'll be issued with a backstage pass allowing you to come and meet me before and after concerts.

  • I’ll add a thank you note (with your name included) to the liner notes of my forthcoming albums and tutorial books!

  • you’ll get complimentary signed copies of new products I release while you’re a ‘Platinum’ patron.

  • I’ll send you postcards when I’m on the road!

  • you’ll be allowed to submit questions that I’ll put to my celebrity guests on ‘Talking Music’ (my unique YouTube show where you get to enjoy long form discussions with superb and fascinating musicians)!

  • you'll get access to loads of other great material, not to mention getting that great feeling inside from knowing that you're making a big contribution to supporting my work!


WHY AM I OFFERING THIS

Two reasons:

1) I’ve long been conscious that many of my fans and well-wishers want to get involved with my work on Patreon but don’t necessarily want to go for a guitar education package.

2) I’m now going to put in print what no-one working in the arts wants to state publicly. Being a full-time musician is tough. One’s income fluctuates, but one’s outgoings don’t. Historically artists had philanthropic patrons to help with this sort of issue. Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton supported Shakespeare; Archduke Rudolph supported Ludwig van Beethoven; the Borgia Family supported Leonardo da Vinci, etc. Platforms like Patreon are essentially the modern version of this. They allow musicians like me to offer amazing exclusive content (like my new ‘Platinum’ package) in exchange for your patronage.

Sound good?

If so:


HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Simple. Follow the link below and sign up to my Patreon ‘Platinum’ membership.

By becoming a ‘Platinum’ member you’re agreeing to a £100 pledge per month (this can be cancelled at any point).

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll have access to all the amazing opportunities I outlined earlier ***. In short, you're only a few clicks away from becoming a patron of the arts and going on an amazing musical journey with me!

With all this in mind, thank you in advance for your support and I look forward to seeing you on Patreon!

Very best wishes,

Samuel Moore

* I’m limiting numbers to ensure that what I’m offering remains exclusive and special. As such, to avoid disappointment I recommend signing up promptly, because once the first six ‘Platinum members’ have joined, places will only become available if an existing ‘Platinum’ supporter changes or cancels their subscription

** I can only take on in-person concert commitments (as opposed to doing something for you online) for events held within a 190-mile radius of where I live in Yorkshire (UK).  Exceptions will be made where possible, but ultimately I need to keep travel and logistics manageable. I also warmly advise you to speak with me about my availability PRIOR to organising an event. I say this as my diary is often very busy and I want to make sure I’m available to perform for you. 

*** In most cases you’ll need to commit to at least six months of ‘Platinum’ membership before the performance clause will be honoured. In short, we can get a concert date in the diary instantly, but I reserve the right not to do it if you subsequently cancel your membership in less than six month of starting it. This clause is to ensure that what I’m offering is used in good faith. In the event that you want a concert to happen within the first six month of your membership, we’ll discuss how this can be facilitated in a way that satisfies both parties.
