39 - Thomas Leeb

Acoustic Guitar - Austrian acoustic guitarist Thomas Leeb started out wanting to emulate superstars Guns 'n' Roses on the electric guitar. He soon found that there weren't enough people to play with in his small hometown and made the switch over to acoustic where he has since gone on to inspire other players like previous guest Jamie Beau. Jamie and I went along to Thomas' show at The Running Horse in Nottingham and were treated to a masterclass in acoustic guitar playing. Have a listen to the episode to hear some incredible live performances from that show and a couple of amazing album tracks. Unfortunately by the time I got to speak to Thomas after the show it was almost midnight and he was still jet-lagged from the trip over. I want to thank him for still taking the time to speak to me in spite of this!
