A large part of Lesley’s appeal resides in her on-stage charm and humour. She enchanted sold-out audiences at the Sage Gateshead and the Warwick Arts Centre when she played there in November 2009 in support of firstly, young acoustic talent John Smith and then the platinum-selling jazz chanteuse Madeleine Peyroux. All available CDs were sold-out as listeners demanded more of the sweetly narcotic effect of Lesley’s crystalline vocals.
After winning Demo of the Month in NARC magazine in November 2009, a successful A&R showcase in Notting Hill early in 2010 led to further interest in Lesley’s music. This resulted in a tour of Britain and Ireland in the spring of 2010 supporting Don “American Pie” McLean. En route Lesley acquired a new army of followers with a series of mature performances in some of the UK’s grandest venues, including the world-famous Royal Albert Hall.
After regular sell-outs of her first EP, her eagerly anticipated first album “Way We Are” was released in October 2010, with a live recording following in July 2011. This live concert recording featured a 7-piece band performing a set that showcases both Lesley’s excellent arranging skills and also her easy rapport with an audience.
Lesley spent five weeks in Nashville, Tennessee in 2011, a trip funded entirely by donations from her devoted fans. As well as performing her songs at some of the most prestigious singer-songwriter nights in the U.S, Lesley recorded a 4- track EP with top local session musicians.
Since then, she has released two full length albums, performed in venues in Vancouver, New York and Seattle, was an opening act for The Webb Sisters and Graham Gouldman and lately has been focusing on writing new material.
