X FACTOR winner Sam Bailey has announced an exciting line-up of special guests for her forthcoming tour.

She will be at Dunfermline's Alhambra Theatre on Friday April 7 when acclaimed singer/songwriter NIKKI LOY will be opening for Sam, with her “smoky, sensuous and soulful” voice showcased in an acoustic set. Nikki has supported a host of stars such as jazz great Janette Mason, Americana artiste Lauren Prichard, Decca Artiste Krystina Myles and Irish pop folk singer Wallis Bird.

She has also co-written for a well-known Saatchi & Saatchi ad campaign, and the award winning video for Nikki’s single Can I Keep You was chosen by the BBC to be part of their Music Video Festival, screened across the UK and also reaching the final of the UK Songwriting Contest.

Over the past few months, Sam has been running competitions to search for local talent to support her on her tour, by inviting singers in each area to apply to be her special guest for one night. Caitlyn Vanbeck was selected by Sam to perform at Dunfermline Alhambra.

18-year-old Singer and songwriter Caitlyn Vanbeck has risen to national fame appearing on 2016’s X Factor series 13. She is also a huge success on social media platforms gaining more than 61,000 followers performing live on the YouNow website. Before appearing on X Factor and beginning to use YouNow, she won the local competition Edinburgh's Got Talent in 2011 aged just 13 years-old. Caitlyn is now releasing her own material and building a career in the music industry.

Finally, Sam is delighted to be joined on stage by Rock Choir.

“I’m so happy to be performing with a choir on my tour.  I love the depth a choir can add to live vocals and I want to put on an amazing show for my fans.  I’m so excited for everyone to see what we have planned!”
