Great news.

I was thinking about trying to get a Leon song played on Radio 2 on friday during their Children in Need Day where the public pledge money in return for them playing a record. Given that it will be exactly a year since Leon sang "Creative" on the Children in Need TV programme I thought I might try to get that played sometime during the day. Anyone else care to join me in an attempt to get Leon some air play?

I did my donation & request this afternoon but I've been earning a crust for most of the day, so haven't been able to listen to much on the radio.

Does anyone know if Creative was played on the Music Marathon?

Can't beat a bit of Leon on XF for showing natural raw talent.
Leon sings that song better than anyone. Great to hear the song in full again. It's in my favourites again now I've only got clips left on my YT, plus the odd full song. YT made me remove some of my videos because of copyright, plus I've also got a red strike against my account.

Sorry I wasn't around CC but I see the problem has been rectified.


Lovely to see Leon around even if it may only be for a short while before he has to gets his head down again.
