We talk tone, tips and the next step with the blues star

VGS 2020: Samantha Fish has spent most of the last decade on the road, so when we catch up with her at home she's planning the next move surrounded by the electric guitars that she relies on for creative inspiration, including the cigar box guitar she's become known for using. 

She talks us through those and much more in this in-depth chat. Including where she might be heading next musically.
