Rory McLeod

Rory McLeod is a singular and liberating performer. An ex-circus clown and fire eater, Rory is a one-man-soul-band and poet. He has a rich resonant voice and a natural talent for weaving magical, musical, storytelling spells accompanied by his own solo orchestra of distinctive instruments; the spoons, finger-cymbals, bandorea, Djembe-drum, harmonica, guitar, trombone and-tap-dancing shoes. A musical Gypsy, Rory’s eccentric melodies are infused with influences from Flamenco to Country blues, through to Celtic, East European and Calypso rhythms.
‘The musical equivalent of a six or seven ball juggler.’ The Guardian
‘So original it’s nigh impossible to compare him with anyone else…An awe inspiring live performer who, you discover when you repay his craft with the scrutiny it deserves, writes quite brilliant songs.’ FRoots Magazine
