Great stuff on Leon, YL. Delighted that he's doing the rounds. When you see him in that poster with the hat and beard....such a different lad from the one we first knew.

Fab, fab stuff.

Sorry i missed you earlier today Zip but hopefully we will catch up soon.

Yeah, I think these gigs are really going to be significant for Leon as they attract thousands of people and it's exactly what he needs to help him get a foothold.

A video of the secret gig put up by Leon last night.

I think his vocals are awesome!

This is a 100% live performance, and Leon sounds as good as any recording...better in my opinion!

Leon has gone to the Great Scot of The Yea Awards tonight, He's been nominated bless! He did well to get shortlisted though! Anyways he is attending a nice gala dinner so even if he doesn't win I'm sure he will have a fab night.

I love his News items, most of which he writes himself. You only have to read them to know which ones he has written. They are so sweet

Mine too!

I'd love him to win but I think he is maybe a bit too young and not as well known as some of the others, but who knows, I'd be thrilled for him if he did.

Well, he didn't win the entertainment award as we expected. It went to Lorraine Kelly, but he was thrilled just to be there and very happy for Lorraine.

Hey there

If you have itunes Leon is now using ping so people can see the sort of music he likes, and he is going to follow people too to see what they are into musically. Could be lol

A bit of a research project methinks. Hopefully he will be putting some of his own songs on there very soon.

Just thought I'd let you know that Leon has announced he has been confirmed as headliner for the Watchet Music Festival in Somerset on 27th August.

Loving that some people think that the XFactor winner should be the Eurovision entrant next year on the back of Jedward doing so well!. lol

Hi All

I've cut down dramatically on the amount of time I spend on the computer but I still love Leon's distinctive voice as much as ever - and always will.

Looking forward to seeing him live again this summer!
