Hello folks, as you know i am recovering from the operation on my right hand. It is taking a long time to heal and I think I will be out of action until February 2022. It has been a very difficult year with the sad loss of my recording engineer/producer Terry Bracey, and I have had to accept that with all the problems of recovering from my hand operations I can no longer play two hour guitar concerts. I am hoping to start recording my new album in February and hopefully finish the project in the summer of 2022. I would like to thank you my followers for your continued support and I wish you all the best for Christmas and for 2022.

Hello folks, sorry I have not been in contact but as many of you know I have been battling problems with my hands again, I am now having a further operation on my right hand, which hopefully will cure the problems I have had. This operation takes place on the 30th July, and hopefully after one or two months I will be able to start playing again.
I will also post some sad news of the passing of my wonderful recording engineer and producer Terry Bracey when I am able to use my fingers again.

Hello folks. Sorry I have not posted any info in the last few months. As many of you know I have had to undergo major surgery on my left hand. Thankfully after nearly eighteen months my left hand is almost back to normal. The attention I received from the hand unit and especially my surgeon Mr Cresswell was fantastic. Now I am facing another operation this time on my right hand. I am hoping the operation will not be as difficult as my left hand and I am waiting for the date for the operation. As soon as I have news I will let everyone know how it has worked out.
Thank you all for your support and understanding.
Regards, Leo

Hi folks, here is a poster for my upcoming concert in Vimoutiers, hope to see you all there.

Well folks it's been a while since i have posted any news on the slow recovery from the major surgery on my hand. The surgeon is very happy with the results of the op. I don't have full movement of my little finger but overall i can manage to play the guitar again. I have been working with a great band called Kals Kats, you should look them up. Last night i played with Mike Norris it's my first gig in France since the operation. by all accounts it went down very well. I hope to post some playing videos when I return to the UK, and I will keep you up to speed on news and events. Regards Leo

Hello to you all out there, just to let you I had a meeting last week with the surgeon who carried out the operation on my hand last November. He is very happy with the result of the op. and he thinks My hand should be back to normal in approx three more months. I am now starting to play the guitar again and I hope I can get back to the standard I played at before the operation. Many thanks to all of you who send your best wishes.

Hi everyone, I had the dressings removed yesterday at the hospital, they are very happy with the results of the operation. My hand is still very tender and i have a wait of six weeks before doing any heavy work using my hand, however I hope to pick up the guitar next week and give it a go and see what happens. I'll keep you all updated

Just to update you all. The operation went ahead last Thursday on my hand,the surgeon is very pleased with the results, I have to wait two weeks for the dressings to be removed, then hopefully i can start using my hand again. I will keep you up to date with my progress

Hi folks, sorry for not posting any news, but the problems with my hand has returned. I have had to cancel all concert/gigs at present. I have an appointment with the specialist next Wednesday and hopefully the hospital will carry out the required operation as soon as possible. I will keep you all up to date with my progress. Regards to you all. Leo

Well folks after nine long months i am back in business. The operation has been a complete success and now it's back to serious practice.Thanks to all of you who have been inquiring re my progress. Now it's back to work, where did I put that guitar.

Hi everyone, had my appointment with the surgeon yesterday to review the progress on my wrist. It's still very painful when i try and play but the surgeon is very happy with the way the muscles are settling down and has advised me not to start any serious practicing until the new year, then i hope it will be back to some serious playing. Regards to you all.
