Summer is winding down, even though it seems like just last week we were swimming in the Rhine and spending long nights by the grill. This week on the show, we played new songs from the season that we didn’t get to in past weeks. You’ll hear fresh tracks from Kylie Minogue, Snow Patrol, and Post Malone with Dolly Parton. We also go back in time with artists like Prince and Fleetwood Mac.
UK Band The Great Leslie; New Music
The Great Leslie is a UK indie/alt-rock four-piece – a group of misfits who fit together, creating something unmissable. Consisting of Ollie Trevers on Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Ryan Lavender on Drums, Alfie Pawsey on Bass, and Freddie Miles on Lead Guitar, this gifted group, this collection of clowns, this assembly of artists is ready to take over the world at guitar point.
The Great Leslie supported James Blunt at the STIMMEN-Festival this summer, winning over the audience with their indie rock swagger and charismatic stage presence. Ollie, Ryan, Alfie and Freddie talked to The English Show about how the band formed, their most recent single «No Future», recording at Abbey Road Studios, and having 5-year plans.
You can connect with The Great Leslie on Instagram or Facebook and buy their music on Bandcamp. Listen to the interview here.
