What a load of old tosh. :yawn: I can't even be bothered to get annoyed!

I think a few people on DS need to go to specsavers!



On a lighter note I hope it won't be long until we get some new music from Leon. I really missed seeing him live last year!

Perseverance has paid off!

Disappointed we didn't get a blog this year, but as Leon has spent most of the year writing and only done a couple of gigs, I don't suppose he felt he has much to tell us.

Having positive thoughts!

Good to see Leon is taking some time out from songwriting this year and playing a few gigs.

He's playing at a festival in Galloway tonight, and has two further gigs coming up, Perth in April and London in August.

I'll deffo be going to the London one!

With talk of X Factor stirring again, I wondered how Leon is doing? Has he produced any more albums and is he still gigging? Has he been able to stay in the music business? I know that he completely changed his music style from the stuff they got him to do in XF but not a lot more than that..

Hi
As my previous posts say, Leon is still doing the odd few gigs but is very focused on his songwriting at the moment.

Just knew you would make it! I spotted an online ad for the show a couple of weeks ago. The Edinburgh Festival will be great fun. I've only ever been to the Military Tattoo. Hope you and Leon have an enjoyable time.. Will you get a backstage pass yorkielass?

Try and stop me thms

I first found out about the London gig when Ernie announced it in March. Then shortly after he said he was doing an Edinburgh gig, but no mention of Leon at that point. Leon told me he was joining Ernie there too when saw him at one the gigs in London in May.

Really looking forward to them doing the artists in the round thing.
Are you going try and get to the Edinburgh one thms?
Don't need a backstage pass to see Leon. He always comes and sees everyone at the end of the show.

As you know my home is but a short walk to Pacific Quay and the Armadillo.

But since my father passed away, I have been spending more time as the main carer for my mum. So getting out is difficult.. I could not even muster the energy to go into town to experience the Commonwealth Games.. It looked great on TV..

Have you see this video before?

Yeah, I remember you live very near the Armadillo. it must be difficult for you to get much of a social life.

Yeah, thanks I have seen it. I've got one pretty similar myself but haven't got round to editing it yet. lol
