Rory McLeod - Rhythmic Storyteller, multi-instrumentalist telling unpalatable truths about broken hearts, social justice, in songs that are percussive, bold, lyrical, deeply personal, and have an unexpected edge to them, accompanied by spoons, harmonica, guitar, trombone, and tap-dancing shoes.
Rory McLeod, an ex-circus clown and fire eater, is a one-man-soul-band, and poet. He has a natural troubadour’s talent for weaving magical, musical, storytelling spells accompanied by his own bizarre solo orchestra of distinctive instruments. The spoons, finger-cymbals, bandorea, Djembe-drum, harmonica, guitar, trombone and-tap-dancing shoes accompany the “rich, raw, deep and resonant” voice of this “singular and liberating performer.”
Rory was voted Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2002. He was Texas Harmonica Champion 1981 and Edinburgh Festival Street Busker of the Year in 1985.
