Paloma Faith and Sam Ryder to mentor Your Song on Channel 4

Channel 4 today reveals that award-winning artist Paloma Faith and Eurovision sensation Sam Ryder will serve as mentors on the upcoming entertainment series from the makers of Great British Bake Off and The Piano (Love Productions).  

Your Song (wt) will celebrate the nation’s hidden voices by giving non-professional singers the chance to perform a song that holds deep personal meaning to them. From love ballads passed down through generations to anthems that lifted spirits in difficult times, these powerful performances will take place on a pop-up stage equipped with a live house band.  

Hidden from the singers during their performances, Paloma and Sam will emerge to offer their expertise and heartfelt reactions. Alongside the mentors, host Alison Hammond will bring her trademark compassion, humour, and unique ability to connect with our singers – encouraging them to open up and tell their story.  

The Your Song stage will be travelling to sites across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Edinburgh.  

Paloma Faith says: “The most inspiring and wonderful thing for me in music are the personal stories of individual people. I am delighted to take part in your song so I can be closer to that inspiration.”

Sam Ryder says: "I’m so stoked to be a mentor on Your Song! The show is all about celebrating grass roots talent across the country, and hearing their stories through music, which I can’t wait to encourage and uplift. I can’t wait to get out on the road and meet everyone"
