Still rankles but what the heck, Leon won and this is appreciation thread still going after just one blinking album

Leon Rocks, smooth operator. just wish he would share some tunes with us

Leon is performing at Ayr Xmas Lights switch on 18th November.

Finally they have used a pic of him from a recent photoshoot instead of the usual circa 2007 pics! lol

great news!! wish leon well!!

"Organic" is a clichéd word, but Leon Jackson's slow and stealthy gestation into an artist of genuine note has nevertheless been just that. When you hear his songs, you realise it could never really have gone any other way.

I hope someone catches his performances during the Ayr Christmas lights switch on and puts it on YouTube so we can get a new taster of what's to come. Dying to get my hands on his new material! From what I've heard so far it's outstanding.

Couldn''t have summed it up any better myself! lol

Hi AJ
Hopefully some or one of those who are going will manage to get near enough to take some video footage. I'll post a link on here if I see anything from there.

Brilliant news about the Ayr lights. So pleased for Leon.

Looks like Leon had a ball in Ayr. (see what I done there)

Call me thick....but its lost on me? lol

Video from Ayr. Our boy sounding as good as ever

Did you never play keepy up

Is it something to do with football? I never played footie!

I used to play two balls though.

Have you seen how long Leon's hair is now? The Francis Rossi look!

The less said about two balls the better.

Not bothered how Leon looks but he sounded great.

anyway substitute Air for Ayr

hee! hee!


lol me niether. He could look like Grizzly Adams for all I care. haha! Its all about the voice!


Yeah, I get it now!

Found this video from when Leon was at Strathclyde. I wish it wasn't so noisy so we could hear him properly.

Ooh, Zip, controversial - but I agree on all points. Our Leon never was teacher's pet, was he?

Thanks for posting this. It's a bit of a lacklustre version of a fun song, in my view. Nevertheless, it's great to hear Leon's lovely voice. I only wish there were far more opportunities. I still think Leon's voice, as untutored as it was when we first heard it, was the best new voice I had heard in many years, and I still don't think I have heard one that comes close since.

I feel exactly the same Lulu g. There is no one with a voice as beautiful and unique as Leon's IMO.

Those clips are fantastic. Sooooo honed.

Well done Leon.

Thanks for sharing, YL.

Unfortunately not, lulu.

You're very welcome Zip

A little Leon appreciation never goes amiss amongst this years dross

I agree
