website:
www.lukeleighfield.com www.myspace.com/simplylukeleighfield Luke Leighfield started playing piano aged four, forced into it by his loving parents. He started learning the violin aged eight, and then played in various orchestras up until the age of eighteen. While in sixth form he started playing guitar and singing in his first (awful) band 'Flatulent Mindy and the Badgers', quickly followed by 'neitherbignorclever' (awful) before making music that was vaguely listenable in his piano-rock outfit 'ALOMO'. He quickly got bored of the hassle of being in a band, and started writing solo piano music in the spring of 2005, aged seventeen, in his last year of sixth form.
A slew of (awful) demos followed over the next year, while Luke began studying English and Music at the University of Southampton. At the end of his academic year in May 2006 Luke was offered the chance to play violin for urban folk troubador Sam Duckworth aka Get Cape Wear Cape Fly. In the summer of 2006, when free time permitted, Luke recorded his debut album 'Garde Ta Foy, Garde Ta Foy' with his drummer Dan Halliday at Dan's house in Malvern. Luke's time with Get Cape was coming to an end at the end of October, so Luke got busy booking shows on the internet, in houses, filthy pubs, whatever, for November and December. He ended up playing around forty shows at this time with Dan on drums, and Jonathan Jefferies on bass.
Again, the hassle of a band became too much for Luke so he set off solo, but with the lovely Sam Isaac in tow, for an epic, gruelling tour schedule from the start of 2007 until he re-joined university in October 2007. Sam and Luke played pretty much every day during this time, with a particular highlight being a 42 dates in a row stretch for Luke from late January until mid-March. Luke managed to squeeze in more recording with Dan though, in the late spring / summer of 2007, which became his second album 'Fan The Flames'.
Luke finally managed to realise his dream of playing as a 'big band' when he went on a co-headline tour with Sam Isaac and Tellison in September 2007 for six dates. These are probably the closest Luke has got to reproducing his recorded sound in a live setting. Touring slowed slightly (slightly being the operative word) as Luke started his second year at university. He played his 250th gig in London on the 3rd December with his big band. 2007 ended with Luke recording a live Radio 1 session for Huw Stephen on New Year's Eve, an appropriate reward for the work put in during the year. 2008 has so far brought more gigging (predictably) from Luke. He also plans to re-release his two albums as a double disc package, in addition to his debut single. In the summer he is scheduled to take his one man show to Europe for six weeks of dates. Stay tuned.
