Leigh Mary Stokes is a 19 year old singer songwriter who writes infectious, emotive indie pop. Listening to Leigh is like tea and crumpets before work, roast dinner at your mum’s and listening to your iPod on the bus. It is everything that is right in your world, for you, at that particular time.
Leigh has recently put the finishing touches to her much anticipated debut EP, scheduled for release on the 16th November to coincide with a run of UK dates. The release is being digitally distributed by Believe Digital, the leading European digital distributor and will be available from over 100 online stores including, but not exclusively; I-Tunes, Amazon, E-Music, Napster, all Mobile phone networks and Last FM.
Leigh is backed by some of Portsmouth’s most respected musicians and has played with such artists as The Kabeedies, Frank Hamilton, The Winterkids, Flamboyant Bella, Eliza Doolittle and Sam Isaac. Leigh is building a good strong fan base nationally and has played many of the south coast’s main touring venues and festivals including; Bestival, Wight Air 2007, Southsea Fest and Bangers & Mash at Camden’s Proud Galleries and Club Fandango in London.
