Who I am
I'm Leo Live, a live singer and multi-instrumentalist based in the Cotswolds. I can perform solo as a one-man band with a huge, upbeat set of rock, pop, Motown and dance crowd-pleasers, or bring in a full band for a bigger sound.
Either way, you get a proper PA system and lighting rig as standard, full Public Liability Insurance, and a performer who's done this enough times to read a room and adapt on the fly.
As a regular on the county's theatre and festival circuits, I also work regularly with a trusted network of other musicians, so if you want a bigger band, a different genre, or specific instrumentation, I can tailor the line-up around you rather than the other way round.
What it's like working with me
Every couple gets a proper video call before anything else - not a form to fill in, an actual conversation about your day, your music taste, and the moments that matter most to you.
From there, I build a set that's genuinely yours, not a fixed playlist with your names stuck on top. For solo work, I don't need a live soundcheck either (I know my own sound levels by heart), so you won't have a band clattering through a soundcheck in the background while you're trying to enjoy your drinks reception or speeches.
I can cover your whole day, from acoustic background music during the champagne reception, a live first dance where I can learn your song specifically for that moment, the father-daughter dance, and a full evening set that fills the dancefloor and keeps it full. I also cover DJ and MC duties between live sets, so you don't need to book that separately - one less supplier to coordinate on the day.
Beyond the wedding set
Outside weddings, I front The Bowie Band (an 8-piece David Bowie tribute) and Sweatband (an 80s anthems band endorsed by Radio 2's Vernon Kay - see the video) - so if a straight-up anthemic 80s party, 90s party, or Bowie tribute set is more your vibe for the evening do, that's on the table too.
I also run Country Hoedown nights with live line-dancing instruction led by my wife, 'The Texas Cowgirl', who is originally from Texas, if that fits your theme.
I'm also the founder of tuneriver.com, where couples can commission a completely original, personalised song - a lovely option for a first dance, a surprise for your partner, or a gift for parents on the day. Careful though - this always brings the happy tears (see the videos for more).
Next step
The best way to start is a quick video call so we can talk through your day and what you're picturing – then I'll put together a plan that's actually built around your wedding, not a generic package.
