Adam Leonard's debut album from 2003

Adam Leonard is an English singer-songwriter working mainly in the folk, rock and roll and electronic music fields. His first album 'How Music Sounds' was released in 2003 to modest critical acclaim but poor sales. Live performances, which have so far been limited to the UK (Manchester, London and Northern Ireland) are as intriguing as they are rare. He regularly collaborates with other musicians, most notably Gareth Davies, also from Leonard's hometown of Manchester. His style is often described as lo-fi and the subject matter of his songs unconventional - more E.V.P., ectoplasm and alien invasion than "boy meets girl".

Current activity

Leonard is now based in Bangor in Northern Ireland, where he is working on his next album, entitled 'Nature Recordings'.
