Great start! Leon is No1 in the bebo Unsigned charts for Acoustics.

And No 13 (and above Paolo Nutini) in the All Music Charts.

Fantastic ! But what is it - and how do we get him back up there ???

Leon has dropped quite a lot - particularly in the All Music chart. We need to keep promoting him. I'm sure that record companies keep a keen eye on the likes of Bebo and MySpace.

That one is in part 13

Glad to see Leon is happier and I think it's a blessing in disguise the way things have turned out for him. He is learning the hard way and starting from scratch with his music and gigging welll done Leon, very proud of you!

I think it's because I removed the 'admin edit' text when I was quoting im77's post

I agree. Leon shows great determination and the will to succeed. Maybe he will never be a million seller, but he will always have a hard core of loyal fans who will support him in his chosen career. So proud of him that he didn't give up

Yeah, Leon knows that he has to put the hard work in to get the experience. He is just getting on with it and doing a fantastic job.

He really does seem very happy with what he is doing and the right type of enues obviously means more to him than the money.Him and Steve are great together, I hope they continue as they are.

He sounds amazing and looks fantastic plus he is learning the ropes the right way, it's good to see him playing the guitar something he couldn't do on the X Factor. He is doing well for himself.

I agree. I think that in the next 6 -12 months we will see Leon become a stronger performer.

As Louis Walsh says, Leon has more potential than his critics realise. The more gigging experience he gets, the more confident he will become and the better he will be.

Good news! Leon's official YouTube channel, plus all other official videos being blocked in the UK, will soon be accessible again

Very true Marta. I know we all get hungry for his music but I would gladly wait a few years until he brought out an album off his own accord. He is doing the right thing by playing all the smaller venues which is helping to build up his confidence, Sony should have had him doing this after he won X Factor.

Don't know if I will be able to make this one after the expense of the other one (and I wouldn't have missed that for the world )

It says there is a giant stage! I think it will draw a big crowds so hopefully Leon will give more people a taste for his music once they have heard him. How can they not fail to love him once they hear his amazing voice.

Too far for me again. Hope Leon does a gig in my part of Yorkshire some time in the future. Would love an intimate gig.

I would love to be able to go see Leon, was really disappointed when they cancelled the Edinburgh gig, i'm glad I saw him on the X Factor tour but I hope to see him some time soon doing his intimate gigging.

Thanks so much for those pics, YL (and to Michelle). They are fab...!

It looked as if it was really, really boiling hot in there. Am feeling sorry for poor Steve with the Eternal Tea Cosy that he keeps wearing.

No offence to the fabby Steve though. The man's a legend.

Yeah, he's a grat guitarist. I think Leon and Steve are going to be joined at the hip for the forseeable future.
