Hi guys

Not doing a review as such as the set was only 30 minutes long, although Leon managed to pack 6 full songs in plus a couple of shorties!

Leon seemed relaxed and comfortable from the word go....he was in Glasgow after all! I'm sure ljfan and Chopsticks, who were also there, will agree when I say that Leon gave a very natural, raw and honest performance. Vocally he was brilliant (I just adore that voice) although I thought he sounded like he was still getting over a cold when he was talking.

There is absolutely nothing fake about how Leon feels about his music and he always manages to express it in a way that reaches out to everyone. He was in good spirits and did plenty of small talk and audience participation. The place was heaving and even if some may have been there just to see Lawson, there was lots of support from the large number of LJ fans there and non fans alike waiting for Lawson to come on.

Leon came down later to see everyone who was waiting. He made sure he had a chat with everyone and did pics and autographs for all who wanted them. He was a mix of charming, funny and cheeky and made everyone's night complete. All in all it was a great gig and everyone including Leon had a fab time.

btw Lawson were good but Carrie Mac was pretty darn good for a support act. She had a killer set of pipes and made it worth going early just to see her.

News article about a song co-written by Leon and Vince Kidd (formerly Matt Protheroe from Futureproof). A video of Vince singing the song is also on there!

Must admit I'm not crazy about the lyrics but I love the tune. It's not something we would normally expect Leon to be involved in, and after a couple of negative comments on his facebook Leon felt the need to respond:

It's not my song, I'm not singing it. I helped write it objectively for another artist. Granted it is risqué but it's about being artistically daring & audacious in the same way that Rihanna and Lady GaGa are.

Is there any sign of an album coming soon? Can't believe he hasn't been signed by anyone, always thought he would be snapped up straightaway due to his potential, maybe these record producers don't know talent after all!

Yeah, I saw that one thms. It's really good. I have to say though this is my all time fave Stargazing video...by our very own Chopsticks.

Leon is coming along nicely with his songwriting skills. He is very creative and not afraid to experiment with different kinds of music. The progression he has made since his first songs has been remarkable and the best is yet to come.
