Sam Duckworth is 22. He writes, records and gigs - 140 times since January 2005 - as Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

He grew up in Southend in Essex, home county of his hero Billy Bragg. You should hear Duckworth's version of 'A New England', then you should hear his own song, 'The Lighthouse Keeper', detailing his love/hate relationship with the 'scummy town' he calls home.

In his teenage years he served time in local hardcore bands, before realising that he could say more on his own. He took himself off round the UK on self-generated, self-funded, wing-and-a-prayer-and-a-rucksack tours.

Suddenly, everyone is talking about Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.
