Banff, United Kingdom

Sandi Thom’s infamous debut single, I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) topped the charts in 7 countries with the ensuing album shifting nearly 2 million copies to date worldwide.
That was 2006.
After touring the UK & Europe with new Blues Powerhouse Joe Bonamassa in late 2009, opening for the likes of BB King and Steve Winwood, Sandi was inspired to explore deeper and more organic musical roots with her next record.
2010 heralds her return to the stage with the hotly tipped ‘Merchants & Thieves’ , released on the 17th May hlighting her tremendous versatility as one of today’s finest female musicians.

At 17, Sandi Thom became the youngest ever student to be accepted at the prestigious Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts aka LIPA. It has been dubbed ‘The Fame Academy’ due to the number of industry professionals teaching there and having Sir Paul McCartney as its patron.
It was here that she met her band and producers.
In 2003, Sandi Thom graduated from LIPA with a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts and is the first and only LIPA Graduate to have a number one music album in the charts.

Neo-folk-rock singer/songwriter Sandi Thom generated publicity and controversy when she landed a major-label record contract on the strength of a three-week live webcast series beamed across the Internet from the basement of her flat. Born Alexandria Thom in Banff, Scotland, on August 11, 1981, she spent her teenage years in a cover band dubbed the Residents whilst attending Aberdeen-based Robert Gordon’s College.

    Sandi Thom's own label Guardian Angels Records now under Universal Music Group. The structure of the label means it acts as a one-stop shop - from cultivating artists to producing and distributing an album. Thom and her team handle recording, publishing, management, live-booking, licensing, design, trademarks and merchandising. “We are looking to grow beyond the set standard, paving the way for a new age in the music industry - coupling zest, creativity and determination with independence, new technology and nose-to-the-grindstone hard work.” Jim Urie, president and CEO, Universal Music Group Distribution commented: "We expect a great deal from an artist of Sandi's caliber and the imprint she has created, Guardian Angels Records." With a label publishing deal through P & P Songs along with distribution deals with Nova for the UK and Fontana International for Europe, the label is also poised for Thom’s debut release on the label in August.

    I wonder how Sandi would feel about lastfm wordfiltering "Scotland" to "United Kingdom" while "England" is left as it is. I also wonder if this practice will continue after 2014.

    OMG! she is now paying her fans to like her and calling them affiliates so she can cut down on her promotions bill.. One internet campaign to many i think. Bribery goes a long way these days. Better get the boyfriend to pop the question girl, your 30 and still single and no sign of kiddies. The clock is ticking and playing the number 2 circuit around the UK for the next ten years on your own isnt exactly what you planned was it?

    'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)' is probably the most pseudo-nostalgic garbage i've ever heard in my life, the lyrics really try so hard to make up a fairy tale vision of the past. She obviously doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about and it ends up just being extremely dumb and really really reaaaally annoying
