LEO LIVE

Leo Saunders (AKA Leo Live) is a singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist, performer and entertainer. Leo started out on the Camden indie circuit in the 90s and has wowed fans with his own band The Holy Sinners and with the immensely popular Gloucestershire-based covers-band Over The Hill.

As part of the World War 1 (WW1) centenary commemoration, in 2015, Leo was awarded a Heritage Lottery grant to compose and perform pieces with collaborative partner George Moorey called ‘WarSongs’. Based from research from the Gloucestershire Archives into the poetry of Ivor Gurney. 99 musicians - a mix of professional, semi-professional and schools and community groups - performed the pieces in the final performance at The Guildhall.

Since launching Tuneriver in 2018, Leo now delivers personalised songs to people as gifts and is building a network of songwriters to be featured as Tuneriver promoted artists.

For 2019, Leo has also introduced a new way to interact with live audiences by launching ‘LEO LIVE’.
