On FRIDAY 3rd JUNE, 2022, I will publish my first book for children entitled, The Litter Bug. I believe the book would be perfect for both primary and secondary students in Hong Kong and beyond and essential reading for any child who enjoys reading stories about nature, magic and adventure!

My sincere hope is that students of all ages can enjoy and relate to the adventures of Bud the Litter Bug and feel inspired to continue their studies in English and develop a greater love of reading. Furthermore, it is hoped that the book can raise children’s awareness of the critical issues of littering and environmental protection.

I am also available for bookshop / school / library workshops, visits, readings via zoom or in-person at your convenience. 

You may contact me at samuelbarbour@hotmail.com for bookings.

I unreservedly commend The Litter Bug to you!

A Light in the Dark is an honest account of my songwriting journey from the very beginning as a young man with nothing but an old guitar and a fistful of half-baked songs to performing live on TV & radio in Hong Kong & securing national press in both the UK & Hong Kong,  receiving BBC Radio airplay & releasing my debut album, Let's Join Hands on the 30th April, 2021.

In today’s episode, I am going to share some stories about the recording process of some other songs from Let's Join Hands and collaboration with other musicians.

As with all previous episodes, I hope you can take away useful information about the process of writing a song, working with other musicians, preparing your song for a professional recording, working with a producer in a studio, releasing your first song online and much more...

Of course, I made lots of mistakes along the way but I see these all as useful signposts to becoming a professional songwriter – something that I continue to strive towards and I sincerely hope they can aid you too. As they say, failure is the mother of success. Let’s start.
