Seasons
Last year I spent quite a while making a film with Duncan Howsley about the making of Luke Leighfield’s new album ‘New Season’ which is set to launch next month.
Having never really done anything like this before, nor anything coming close to this length (it’s just over an hour long which gives it the delightful badge of being ‘feature length’), the whole project was quite...

Rosie Thomas
I read a great interview with a singer-songwriter called Rosie Thomas this week on a journal called The Great Discontent. They interview various creative people and are concerned with things like creativity, risk and artistry.
The interview with Rosie Thomas particularly resonated with me, although there’s good stuff in all the interviews. She had lots of good things to say, but here are a...
Brits
banquetrecords:
this morning, my facebook feed was full of people moaning about The Brits. That Adele or Ed Sheeran were somehow undeserving of it and that they’re not real musicians.
Instead of watching it on TV, you coulda been at a gig, rehearsing for your band, listening to records or reading a book.

Duncan, Tom and I can’t quite believe that over 800 people have watched Seasons in the past five days. Thank you! It means a lot. Thank you for all the kind comments on Facebook and Twitter, and for sharing it with your friends. Thanks.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, it’s posted above. Or you can watch it on the Seasons mini-site (there’s more info there) -...

BBC 6 Music play from Tom Robinson →
Tom Robinson was kind enough to play my new single ‘The One Thing’ yesterday on BBC 6 Music. He also said lovely things about the release of New Season:
“Listeners, nothing demonstrates the new way of doing business for independent artists in today’s music industry better than Luke Leighfield’s release of New Season. That’s the way to do it.”
Thanks,...

This trailer for this film looks great. I’d love to watch it if it wasn’t a super expensive Amazon US import.
