Local X Factor singer serenades self-isolators

Sam Black performs for estate

A local singer, who appeared on the X Factor, has been using his voice to help ease the stress of the coronavirus lockdown.

Sam Black starred in the 2017 series of the reality TV contest, where he made it to the quarter finals.

In his latest performance, he took to the Manx streets - at least 2 metres away from anyone else - to serenade those in self isolation:

Emma Smith, Sam's wife, posted videos of the performance in the Coronavirus Help Isle of Man Facebook Group, saying she hopes it can offer 'something positive at this hard time.'
