A rare appearance for this cult UK rock band!

Led by original vocalist, Peter French (also of original and current Atomic Rooster fame), Leaf Hound was a product of the SW London rock scene of the late 60s which spawned the likes of Free and other blues-rock acts, and their 1971 Growers of Mushroom album has achieved massive cult status and now exchanges hands for over £6,000 and was voted the ‘Number one most collectible Rock album!’ in Q magazine !!

Peter's reputation as a potent lead vocalist also led him to a stint with Carmine Appice's US band, Cactus. Later in the '70s, he served as frontman for the popular German act, Randy Pie, before recording his acclaimed solo album, Ducks in Flight, which featured Brian Robertson, Micky Moody and Kenney Jones. This album has recently been re-released by Repertoire.
Leaf Hound was re-formed in 2004 and since then the band has re-issued the Growers of Mushroom album with 1 additional track and recorded a new album, Unleashed. It features eight all new compositions by Peter French and Luke Rayner and also a reworking of Atomic Rooster's "Breakthrough". The album has been met with critical acclaim from the music press with Kerrang! calling it, "As good a rock album as you could hope to hear." Classic Rock Magazine noted, "An unpretentious hard rock record, relying on strong songs and powerful performances." French and Rayner were also praised for their production skills, "Preserving the Classic Rock sound."

Leaf Hound's Live in Japan CD/DVD and Vinyl was released 4 years ago and has just been re-released by Repertoire Records.
Pete French's vocals on Leaf Hound's song, Freelance Fiend' was the soundtrack to the Casio G-Shock Watches advert on cinemas worldwide, and his song 'Too Many Rock 'n' Roll Times' is featured in the new Hollywood movie, Adolescence. Pete's voice was also featured on the them song from TV's Life on Mars.

Tonight's performance follows Leaf Hound's performance at The Brudstock Festival in Italy and The Golden Age of Rock Festival in Belgium.

Tickets are only £10 adv or £15 on the night
