Welcome to LeoSayer.com
(Sydney, May 3rd, 2012)
Hi everybody,
I hope you are all well and happy.
Well, after a relatively quiet start to 2012, which was very welcome after such a busy schedule last year, I’m now getting back to work, and I must say I’m really glad to announce some international dates, for a change…
I’ve already been on the road downunder however… In March the Australian band and I kicked off this year’s live activities with a one off show in Tumut, near Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, followed by a four date mini tour of Western Australia, taking in performances in Albany, Bunbury, Mundaring Weir (in the hills above Perth) and Mandurah. That went great, with full houses and a great reception from fans in WA. The region is truly beautiful to visit as well, windswept beaches, amazing forests and clean unpolluted skies, and it’s a real treat to be working (and to be so popular) in such a place.
Next week I’m really excited to be making a return to Seoul, South Korea for a second time. We are playing two concerts in the city at the very impressive Sejong Centre, me and the Australian band onstage with Bonny Tyler and The Manhattans as well. Seoul is such an exciting place to visit and perform, so it should be fun!
Then I’m off to Europe in June, visiting Italy and the U.K., and I’m also playing a concert in Dublin, at The Olympia – that’s on July 5th. I can’t wait to have a celebratory pint of Guinness while I’m there! On that show I’ll be accompanied by my U.K. band, and it’ll be nice to see them again.
So, I invite you all to keep an eye on the ‘live news’ page, ‘cos there’s more dates a comin’… We are just putting the finishing touches on our Australian itinerary for later in the year, and this should include some coastal dates in Queensland and New South Wales, more news on that soon …
Then, in November I’m back in the U.K. again for my second ‘Once In A Lifetime’ Arena tour. Last time that was in the company of The Osmonds, Bay City Rollers, and David Essex. This time it’ll be me, David Cassidy, Hot Chocolate and Smokie on the bill. It’s going to be a blast, and being a bit of a showman, I always enjoy playing those big venues – my natural habitat! See the full dates (and ticket booking details) on my ‘Live News’ page.
So, with a few more activities to be locked in at home and abroad, it’s looking like it’s going to be an exciting year. After Seoul, I’m off to Darwin for my birthday (May 21st), and must say I’m feeling good and fit, and nothing like 64…..!
Okay folks, stay tuned, stay well, and thanks for all your messages.
All the best to you all – my very dear fans and followers…
——————————————————————
This is the new look ‘leo sayer.com’ – the official website and home of all things “leo”, so if it’s your first visit, here’s a few guidelines.
I think a website is like a virtual “world”, an entirely new home, an exhibition in the ether, and a different (and maybe fresh) way of looking at a life or career – well anyway, that’s the theory behind ‘leo’s room”.
Run your mouse or curser across the home page and you’ll see you can instantly locate various categories of the site by clicking and selecting highlighted images or icons.
These categories are also listed on top of the room, and here’s more on them:
News. You’ll find up to the moment news of my activities and my latest message to you on the news page.
Messages. The message page works much like before – here I invite you to send me a message, ask me questions, or create a forum or topic for discussion. Please keep your posts limited to one person per posting name. It’s not intended as a conversation page between friends – it’s a discussion group, so please when replying to a post, stick to the discussion topics. The site is monitored by the website facilitators (not only me) and we will remove multi posters who use more than one log in name, and all those who profess or pretend, incorrectly, to be the site moderators. Furthermore, we will not tolerate rudeness, offensive language, insults or bad manners, so if you want your message to be shown, you must adhere to these rules.
I will endeavour to reply to as many of your questions as frequently as I can.
Live news. This now has it’s own section too – with details of upcoming concerts and appearances.
Audio player. Here you can listen to tracks on the media player. This features a personal selection various tracks from the archives or recent live material, which will be updated from time to time.
Biography (The Story So Far). This has been carried over from the last edition of the site, and has the entire story of my life and career, with accompanying pictures.
Discography. It’s all new and details the hits and chart positions of my albums and singles in the U.K., the U.S.A., and Australia, also the territories they were released in.
Lyrics. Some of you may remember these pages from before, so I’ve brought ‘em back and brought them up to date – all the lyrics of every album and single track released are shown here.
Photographs. Here’s a new style gallery in an easily navigable format. It’s split into two categories: My career, and Recent Activities. I’ll be up dating these with new pics galleries from time to time.
Press Articles. I’ve been collecting these for some time, so I thought it’d be cool to share some of these with you. They run all the way from 1972 to the present day, telling my story from various other perspectives.
Store. Coming soon… Here there’ll be a chance to purchase merchandise like T-shirts, caps and other ‘leo’ branded items, and buy CD’s and DVD’s. We’ll supply and ship internationally from this site, so look out for this to be up and running soon.
Links. Here you can find other points of contact, for professional enquiries, bookings and such like. Also here are some of my favourite sites to visit, and the home sites of many of my favourite musicians and work colleagues.
I do hope you all enjoy the new pages and generally have fun with the material here.
“leosayer.com” has a truly international fan base, so I hope that the content here applies to all of you.
I can only apologise that if some of my releases are unknown to you, this is because they have not been made available worldwide. It’s just the way this business is, I’m afraid. Some territories don’t agree in taste with the other ones, but thanks to the web, the world is getting smaller and most of my releases can be found on the internet or by downloading, which I think is great.
Okay, that’s about it for now. Keep watching this page for further developments ‘cos the ‘Show” is definitely still going on.
All the best….

We saw you in concert tonight at the Melbourne zoo
HEY LEO, JUST LOVE YOUR MUSIC SINCE I HEARD IT WHEN I WAS 9 YEARS OLD ….HOPING YOU WILL COME TO THE UNITED STATES AND PERFORM AN EXCELLENT SHOW HERE FOR ALL YOUR FAN INCLUDING ME. THANK YOU AND YOUR GREAT MUSIC
Hi Leo, Jaylan has told me that she has to see you again before she dies. She is only 18, met you when she was 7 years old, you comforted her when she was crying backstage, after your roadies refused her enty to go to the toilet. You told them off. Was a magical night, she has never forgot it.
She has been a fan since she was born. That was my fault as your music was on constantly, all my 4 kids love you and all want to see you tour again soon.
PS.. Jaylan said ‘Marry me.’ LOL
Hope to see you again soon.
Love and wishes.
Tracy (Erika)
Hey Leo…any chance of a DVD of the concert you performed in Sydney in November 2010 at the State Theatre? What a blast….I’d love to have a copy to remember a fantastic night!! Keep up the good work….We love it…
Cheers

Hi Leo,
I have loved your music since I was a child when my Mum bought your CD from a school fete. I thought then you were the best thing since sliced bread and you know what………………………….I still do!!!!!!!!!!! You are such an enthusiastic performer and I love you and your music.
MWAH
Danielle
XOXOXOXOOXOXO
Oh Leo, I am so glad that you are a part of this world…….just in case you don’t know this….or if you are ever having a bummed-out day (here is a big, warm smile for you)…..just remember that you have touched so many souls with your music, talent and you, for just being you. Thank you Leo……from a Very Grateful fan from Naples, Florida, USA who grew up with your music.
Hi Leo ! I loved you show at the palms nov 2010! I still have the CD you signed and will never sell it on ebay! Much love Loretta xxx
Hi Leo only just learned that my favourite artist Roger Daltrey was singing a song composed and sung by you “Giving it all away”. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Thankyou for writing it….you are so under rated. regards ian
Hi Leo …
Been a fan since the mid-70`s (in South Africa) and had the incredible privilege and joy of seeing you live in Vancouver, Canada in the early 80`s. What a beautiful, fun night of great music and unforgettable energy! I ran up to the stage and you kissed my hand! Hope you`ll include some Canadian dates when you`re touring the U.S. in 2011. You still sound incredible and have that on-stage spunk like no other! All the best for Christmas, New Year and beyond. Wendy
Hi Leo! I just wanted to say a big “thank you” for your concert last night (27th Oct) at Crown. It was fantastic. An added bonus was that I even managed to get my severely autistic son to get up and dance with me during “You make me feel like dancing”!! It was a wonderful show and I am looking forward to watching the free dvd! Cheers, Janine
Just have to say THANK YOU for a fantastic trip back to my teenage years!! I was at the State Theatre on Sat 6th Nov and really rocked the night away! As a 15yo growing up in Cape Town (South Africa) I had an almighty crush on a certain Leo Sayer and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would one day get to meet the MAN!! I am one very lucky woman…
Thank you = Peace = Love Always!
Can’t wait until the 40th anniversary concert on Saturday night in Sydney– “more than I can say”. You always “make me feel like dancing” and we will be “dancing the night away” with “long tall glasses” at the State Theatre. There is a “thunder in my heart” to hear you sing “Moonlighting” with your “one man band”. “How much love” – “I can’t stop loving you” and your music. Still “just a boy” and not “giving it all away” after 40 years – “the show must go on”. Congratulations Leo on a fantastic career.
Hi Leo, i wonder were i can find video of you and Big Al Hodge,
who as you know passed away sometime ago,the finest muscian Cornwall
ever produced.
All the Best
Hi Leo, here’s an open invite for you to be on my radio show ! Its on air between 7pm and Midnight everySaturday on 2UE Sydney. The show is networked thru NSW and QLd

Hi Chris, I hope you don’t mind, and I hope Leo doesn’t mind me answering your query. May I suggest you try looking at
http://www. amazon.co.uk and search for Leo Sayer in the DVD section, and in there I believe you’ll find a DVD Leo Sayer One Night In Sydney Live At The Basement available. The DVD is an excellent one, and features Leo’s classic hits ‘Giving It All Away’,
‘Thunder In My Heart’, ‘Moonlighting’ ,
‘More Than I Can Say’, ‘One Man Band’, and ‘When I Need You’, just to name a few. Sorry I can’t quote a price of its cost on Amazon, but its worth having a look. I wish you luck in finding a copy of this amazing DVD of Leo Sayer in concert. I believe it took place and was recorded in 2001 time. I hope this is of help. C
Hi Leo, I attended your performance in Sun City (SA) in 2000. Can’t wait for your return. Why is it impossible to get a DVD of ANY of your concerts?
Hi Leo, just had to say how much fun it’s beel looking at some of your youtube videos from the 70’s. Saw you at Barnsley Civic hall 1974 great concert. I live in Sweden now and it would be great if you could play here.
ps..one man band if my favorite.
/Patrick

Thank you Leo for the songs, the music and everything much appreciative!
Hi Leo, You maybe pleased to know I have just corrected Amazon.Co.Uk’s cd catalogue as they had your new cd listed as ‘Greatest Hits’. I informed tham the title is ‘The Greatest Hits’. They’re going to update the title which will appear on their website within the next 2-3 business days. And also, I have already pre-ordered a copy of your new ‘The Greatest Hits’ audio cd. brilliant description of your new cd Leo’s biggest hits and fan favourites which includes
‘More Than I Can Say’, ‘One Man Band’,
‘I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You’, ‘Train’, ‘Dancing The Night Away’,
‘Giving It All Away’ and ‘Orchard Road’, features 18 classic hits of
Leo Sayer. And the pic of you, same as the pic of you on your single’s cover ‘Let It Be’. Its a must have Leo Sayer cd. thank you for all things Leo Sayer!
I’ve heard about The Lanes in Brighton. And like the pic of you, in The Lanes as well, Leo. Also like the pic of where you say ‘this makes me feel like dancin’ again!…good, seem to know where that comes from. And, a year or two ago, requested a blue plaque to go on wall of the King’s Hotel, Hove, to commemorate the time when you were fire hero there in January 1967, but so far don’t think a plaque has been put on.
Hi Leo, oh wow what a brilliant surprise early this morning it was when I clicked on your front note to find you’ve very kindly informed us you’ve added new photographs in your photograph section of your big trip to Europe. All very interesting and brilliant indeed! I love both the pics from the Once In A Lifetime shows and your travels across Europe. I see and love the pic of the one of you where it says ‘Me feel like dancin’ again…!’, good, reminds of the wonderful bobbing. And the pics of you with thumbs up and your camera, that also reminds me of a very special moment when it was thumbs up and the camera in Blackpool eleven years ago. I also like the pic of you in the lanes in Brighton. Thank you for updating your front note and for sharing the pics with us Leo, they’re all marvellous just like you are! Hope the UK’s also included in your European tour next summer. Be good if your new album,
Leo Sayer ‘The Greatest Hits’ will be available to buy online in your shop at Leo Sayer.com too.
Hi Leo, someone on your messageboard asking about your finger snap in the song ‘When I Need You’, was it intentional. Would love to hear ‘When I Need You’ with you snapping your fingers in the song. I can recall the time when you snapped your fingers along Blackpool’s Golden Mile on 14/10/1999. Leo, you always bring joy and light into my life, thank you. Wish you Good luck with your forthcoming tours. Always brilliant to know the show is definitely still going on!
I heard OLeo’s got a little brother Leo, I heard today yes too right.
Hi Leo, I enjoyed browsing your links page yesterday and interesting to read that ‘Moonlighting’, was also an inspiration from Australia (as well as the Mexican Hat, which I understand was a nightclub in Shoreham-by-Sea). Hope I’ve remembered that right. I always enjoy you and your music, Leo. It was a great pleasure coming out to see you last month, and would be good to come out to see you in concert again. would also like you to have the photocopied articles about the time when you were fire hero at the King’s Hotel in 1967. i’ve still got them.
Its brilliant to know the show is definitely still going on will never live that down Leo saying that about the show! listening to your greatest hits, ‘More than i can say’, and ‘One Man Band’ and in the order you sang them recently in the Once In A Lifetime show. Also listening to, ‘Giving It All Away’, ‘Dancing The Night Away’, and ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’. Charlotte.
Please Leo, come to the Netherlands!!!
Me too wish the same with what you said earlier this year Leo, about the time when you were in CBB. I know why you laid down on the stage floor at your show to perform ‘I Can’t Stop Of Lovin You’, so sweet of you. Charlotte xx
Hi Leo, seen your recent activities photo section of your website and the pic of you standing in a Tuscan doorway, is the same as the one I know of. have also seen the brilliant interview of you on a link posted on the messageboard, of you being interviewed by Jimmy Osmond’s daughter, Sophia. And also the link of the pics of you, when you were in Germany. You’re just so exciting, interesting and wonderful, you are Leo. Lots of love, Charlotte xx
Wow that was quick changing the year when I mentioned it to you earlier, thanks Leo. Charlotte xx
Hi Leo, Oh that’s brilliant to know Leo, the “show” is definitely still going on, brilliant. Am jumping again at that! Hope it keeps going on for a long time to come too and know you’ve just toured the UK, but hope it won’t be too long before you’re back here again, would love to see you in concert again. The release of your new (improved sound) Greatest Hits cd sounds interesting and good there’s a dvd coming out soon. Hope the cd and dvd will be available in UK too. ‘um sorry to point out to you Leo, you’ve written there’s going to be a national tour downunder in Feb 2010, but I think you mean Feb 2011. I’ve just noticed that, and thought I’d let you know.
are Leo’s enjoying a bit of a break but he deserves one after all the
recent traveling and concerts. be good when he gets back to us all. I regularly click on Leo’s front note to see what comes up. lots of love, Eo xx
thanks to the person that spotted me this afternoon who said hello.
nice to communicate with those who seem to know me from Leo Sayer’s show and connection a big thank you to Leo Sayer, am greatly appreciative to you, and a big thank you folks and appreciation to you too. I always think of Leo Sayer. Lots of love from, C xx
thought I’ve been seeing an ad on tv and in the middle of it, it says eo! so good to know where that comes from. been thinking about it ever since seeing Leo again four weeks ago yesterday, thanks Leo. hope to see you in concert again. lots of love, C xx
Hi Leo, just got up early and logged onto Leo Sayer.com and seen the lovely picture you’ve just got up on your home page of your website of what looks to be a magnificent sunset at Sydney Harbour bridge. Will you be regularly up-dating the pics there too? And also, was watching the making of your album ‘Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow’ (on a Facebook link), which find very interesting and wondering whether you’d consider it being released on dvd at all (to co-inside with your album ‘Don’t Wait’)?
Look forward to hearing from you, and thanks in advance, Jackie xx
was in the kitchen cooking dinner, when I had Leo Sayer’s Greatest Hits cd playing at the time, and was dancing around the room to them all. ‘Giving It All Away’ is a brilliant song, as all of Leo’s songs are. I wonder what songs Leo will open up his forthcoming Australian shows with later this year, will it be More than i can say and One Man Band, I wonder. would be interesting to hear about those shows too. Lots of love, Karma xx
Hi Leo, meant to say good luck with your forthcoming Australian shows. and me too will be watching this space. heard someone whistle today again they may recall the bobbing at Leo’s show, so good that was. thanks to Leo for another brilliant show when it was your set! Lots of love, I Can Dance xx
Hi Leo, would like to say it was extremely very good of you to come out as soon it was your turn on stage, you looked for me, and found me again after six years much appreciative and I say a big big thank you to you for that will never live any of that brilliant show of yours down. Still got a picture of it all in my mind! It was absolutely wonderful to see you again. Thanks Leo, and good luck with your forthcoming shows. Lots of love,
I Can Dance xx
Hi Leo, sorry unable to come out to Australia to see you perform live there this time, but I sure hope to sometime, and would make it a holiday like that time in Blackpool. Already a friend said she’ll come with me to your show next time you come to UK, when I told her all about the time I saw you on 2nd of this month in the Once In A Lifetime show. Can’t wait for when you return to the UK again, thank you Leo. Lots of love, J x x
Hi Leo, yes will watch this space! Wish it was this year I could come to Australia and see you performing live, but know it won’t be this time. but hope it will be some future time to see you out there too, Leo. been listening to some of your hits today, One Man Band, Moonlighting, Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance), and The Show Must Go On, bobbing to them all! Interesting to know you have a Greatest Hits compilation coming out soon. Lots of love, Jafar atwi xx
