Hailed as A fantastic flamenco guitarist (BBC Radio 3), Samuel Moore is fast establishing himself as one of the UK's leading flamenco musicians. Since 2007 he has performed in venues across the UK, Europe and North America. Samuel initially learnt his craft by working with the recordings of great flamenco maestros of the past and producing transcriptions of their pieces. He later became a student of the world-renowned flamenco guitarist Juan Martín. Always keen to learn, Samuel has also attended master classes led by other leading flamenco artists, including the great Paco Peña.

In October 2019 Samuel released his first studio album, Guitar the Heart of Spain. Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, Guitar the Heart of Spain marked the culmination of Samuel's unique collaboration with the classical guitarist Michael Christian Durrant. Samuel is currently preparing to record his first solo album, Flamenco Puro.

Amongst Samuel's other notable achievements are the establishment and overseeing of the Leeds International Flamenco Festival between 2013-2017. Also, in 2017 Samuel was commissioned to compose music for the major film Lost In London. Samuel also appeared in the film itself, performing his solo compositions in a scene featuring the Hollywood actors Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson.
