Radiograms
Radiograms is an electrifying indie‑rock outfit from Newcastle upon Tyne, known for unfiltered emotion, gritty realism, and crowd‑igniting live performances. Fronted by Ryan McGuire - Rhythm guitarist, Lead vocalist, and creative director - the band blends indie, rock, and pop into a sharp, modern sound that hits with both melody and edge.
Radiograms’ songwriting leans into themes of youth, urgency, heartbreak, and self‑discovery, wrapped in punchy guitars, driving rhythms, and hooks that stay with you.
“We've received a grant that will help change our lives, massive thanks to Sunday for Sammy for the opportunities and support”
aYDIE
A rising star from Durham, Aydie is turning heads with powerful vocals, high-energy performances and an incredible stage presence. With titles including Durham Young Musician of the Year 2024 and Voice of Houghton 2025-he's fast becoming a name to watch on the local music scene!
“I recently received a grant from Sunday for Sammy and I am really excited about having such an ally by my side to support me in my career”
Leopard print
Leopard Print are a 5-piece, female-fronted, riot grrrl band serving chaos, movement, and wicked dual-vocals. Loud, confrontational, and built to make you dance, Leopard Print thrives on high-energy performances and unapologetic presence.
“Aaaaaaa! We can't believe we're playing Cobalt Pride this year with Sunday for Sammy! What a dream come true! We're going to make this one extra crazy!”
SAVANNAH LILY
I am a 19 year old singer/songwriter with a passion for country music. I have performed in venues all across the North East including The Glasshouse, The Cluny, The Grove and The Utilita Arena for Sunday For Sammy’s 2026 Concert. I am working on new music with various different songwriters and artists and have some exciting projects coming up!
“Sunday for Sammy awarded me a grant in 2025, which enabled me to release new music, promote my work, and further develop my brand and image. Their support has not only helped move my music career forward but has also provided incredible performance opportunities that have raised my profile.
One of the biggest highlights was performing at the 2026 Sunday for Sammy Concert at the Utilita Arena. From the first rehearsal to stepping onto the arena stage, the entire team made me feel relaxed, supported, and confident. It gave me the opportunity to share my music with a wider audience and encouraged many people to continue following my journey on social media. Performing alongside local icons and legends was both inspiring and motivating. It showed me that with hard work, dedication, and belief in myself, I can continue building a career and hopefully one day become an artist who inspires others in the same way.”
THE LAST TIME
The Last Time are a rising indie-pop band from Sunderland, quickly building a name for themselves across the North East music scene. Since forming in 2023, they’ve played venues including The Georgian Theatre and Independent, and supported artists such as Tom A.Smith and Isabel Maria. They’ve also performed on the BBC Introducing Stage at Redcar Kite Festival, during Mercury Prize Fringe Week at Pop Recs, and most recently at BBC Introducing from The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.
Supported by Sunderland’s Young Musicians Project, the band have continued to grow their reputation through brilliant live shows, beautiful harmonies and honest songwriting.
Following the release of their debut single ‘Feel It Now?’ in 2025, The Last Time returned with their second release, ‘Getting Older’, in April, continuing to expand their audience and establish themselves as one of the North East’s most exciting emerging bands.
“Sunday for Sammy are an amazing organisation that have done so much for the local creative scene. To be given an opportunity to play the SFS stage is a huge honour and we are so grateful to have their support.”
