The Golden Thread Tour
Smugglers Festival 2025
We’re delighted to performing at the wonderful ‘Smugglers Festival’ on Friday 29th August!
'The Golden Thread Tour' June
The Road Records presents: 'The Golden Thread' - an evening of profound music and poetry by Samana.
The evening will unfold with a poetry reading set against cinematic landscapes, accompanied by evocative instrumental soundscapes. The poems themselves are an alchemical excavation—an introspective odyssey rich with profound poetic and personal resonance. They delve into the essence of consciousness, the elusive realms of dreams, and the sacred connections that intertwine our minds, our psyche, and the land. This is an homage to the intimate, inseparable threads that shape both our inner and outer worlds.
Samana will then perform songs from their eponymous album, alongside new, never-before-heard material.Their music confronts the most profound aspects of the human condition, embracing both its weight and its transcendence. It invites us to reclaim our time, our essence, and our place within the natural world, urging a journey beyond our limitations. Oscillating between melancholic ballads and spiritual awakenings, Samana’s sound guides listeners through cinematic landscapes, invoking ancient beliefs, revolution, healing, the unseen, and the profound depths of love, loss, and death. Born from a nomadic existence and steeped in solitude, Samana’s work draws heavily from the philosophy of dreams, the subconscious, and the transformative power of improvisation. Each song pulses with ethereal energy and unfiltered emotional honesty, offering a direct passage to the spirit—stripping away illusions and revealing the raw, shamanic force that connects us to the very core of our being. This is music that speaks to the soul, igniting the heart and awakening the inner sanctum of our existence.
"Our mission is to craft a transcendental sonic journey that dissolves the divide between performer and audience, enveloping all in the intimate embrace of a shared space. The music becomes a living tapestry, a binaural soundscape that resonates within the very walls we inhabit, guiding each listener into a deep, interconnected dreamscape where the ethereal and emotional realms intertwine. Performed within the sacred circle of the round, the experience immerses the soul in a symphony of vocals, bodhrán, gongs, bells, piano, electric guitars, and double bass. The Golden Thread tour weaves together the unseen, connecting spirit, subconscious, emotion, and transcendence in a seamless, timeless flow."

Mailing List
In a world where we have become so used to over-saturation and immediate information, we wish to celebrate the spirit and wholesomeness of communication through consideration and time. As a result, we will be sharing unseen photographs, dreams, glimpses of connections and creations along the way, through our mailing list, delivered once a month, directly from us to you. We would love to share our journey with you, to have a sence of togetherness.

'In Tune With The Infinite' November Tour
WOW! How incredibly beautiful and monumental this tour was for us! We were completely blown away by the support and to witness the reception for ‘The In Tune With The Infinite’ tour double in size in just four months! Words can’t quite express how deeply we are continually moved by the core connections and spiritual unity we received from you all. This collection of shows was profoundly magical, transcendental and affirming and we can’t express how excited we are to take this momentum forwards into 2025!
We’d like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude towards Pillow, James Osler, Fraser Bowles, Richard Jones and Alfie Weedon for taking the project to the celestial realms.
A huge thank you to all the venues we have worked with who have been nothing but accommodating. To Melting Vinyl for your support in Brighton and to all the brilliant photographers who captured such intimate images of the performances along the way Daisy Wingate Saul, Kaya Oatley and Weetthedee.
lastly and certainly by no means least we would like to thank Help Musicians from the bottom of our hearts for supporting this ambitious project and allowing us to fulfil our visions.
London Sold Out
London, what an evening! This sold out show was full of emotion, ritual and magic. Thank you so much to everyone for making the evening so incredibly memorable. So much goes into curating both the sonic and visual landscapes of each of these performances entirely ourselves, but the profundity by which they are met has touched us so deeply, and we feel more compelled than ever to continue this incredible journey of showcasing our vision of uncompromising artistry.
To share this world with our band, and to continue to fuel our live creations thanks to the support and blessings of our growing audiences gives so much scope for us to continue pushing the boundaries of our work, and reinforces the power of music, connection and feeling.
We feel equally honoured to share the stage with the incredible ‘Pillow’ who have continued to deliver one of the most profoundly moving sets, which has set the scene so beautifully for each evening.
Tomorrow, we return to Bristol to The Mount Without, before we continue home to Pembrokeshire on Tuesday, Stroud on Wednesday with the wonderful Daniel Inzani and finally the wondrous Dartington Hall with Dartington Arts on Thursday!
