CHAPTER 8

JAILHOUSE ROCK

I decided I wanted to go out singing on my own so I went to a ‘shop window’, which is a showcase in a social club where singers who want to get booked on the circuit can go along and sing for venue owners. I met up with a girl called Erin, an agent, who I’d spoken to briefly on the phone a few times. We were outside having a cigarette and she turned to me and said, ‘I only know two Sams. You’re one and the other one is a relative of mine. I went to see a psychic a while ago and she said to me, “You’ll work with someone called Sam”, and she said that I had to say three things to you. It may sound crazy but I have to say them because it’s driving me insane.’

I thought it was a bit odd because we didn’t even know each other, and I wasn’t sure I believed in all of that anyway. Then she paused and said to me, ‘Walt Disney World Florida, the Twin Towers and Sex With Strangers.’ As I’ve mentioned I was in Disney World when the planes hit the Twin Towers, and of course Sex With Strangers was the band my dad was in when I was young.

I felt physically sick. There’s no way she could have known any of those things about me. It played on my mind so much, but I took it as being the sign I needed.

A while later I was talking to my cousin Clare on Facebook about a psychic she’d been to see and the woman had described me and said, ‘Tell that lady that’s out in the garden looking up at the sky hoping to see a shooting star that he’s right beside her.’ I’d never told anyone that I did that. It was my little secret and it totally freaked me out.

I had a similar experience about two years ago when we went to my husband’s auntie’s house to see a medium. There were about ten of us and one woman came through who was stern, and I thought it was my dad’s mum because she was very authoritarian. The message she channelled was for me to stop looking in the wing mirror. She also said she saw a piece of paper with ‘Chasing Cars’ written on it in red pen. The second part didn’t resonate with me at all, but I was doing a gig a short time later and I opened up my tracks case. Inside was a piece of paper with ‘Chasing Cars’ written on it in red pen. Someone had put in a request for me to sing it at a previous gig but I’d completely forgotten about it. I’ve still got that piece of paper to this day.

Shortly after my dad died his sister, Jackie, also passed away. She was so like my dad. They both had guitars, they both liked a drink and they were so close. I went to London for her funeral and the night before I was sleeping on my mum’s sofa.
