| Back in the day of the Belfast Beat (Maritime
Blues) scene, Sam Mahood played with Just Five and later toured with
Sam Mahood Soul Foundation. Sam was a well known character around
Belfast and, like fellow musician Rory Gallagher, he always had time
to stop and talk to fans. In his orange corduroy jacket, blue
corduroy trousers, knee high boots and with his long curly hair
people would joke that he looked like ‘King Billy’.
Sam gave the impression of being a quiet and
gentle man but when he started singing he could belt it out with
great energy. He disappeared off the scene for a few years and a
number of rumours flew about as to where he had gone to but he
eventually made a come-back and the power of his singing had in no
way diminished. He will be sadly missed on the local music scene
