For those not in the UK (or for those that are, but miss it), you should be able to listen to this show online for the rest of next week after the show airs, on the Front Row website. Should be good, Mark Lawson is usually a pretty sharp interviewer.

A good interview. Well worth getting the download.

Hey Tim,

Couldn't get to it from here. Maybe it's my stunted computer skills or something. Damn. Wish I could see it!! Will keep trying!

Peace,

If you use Tims link to the piece, above, then scroll down a little you will see "listen again" on the right hand side. Click to hear the most recent program of the series, which is Leonard's interview recorded at the R G Gallery on Sunday.

When asked about future tours (in this interview) Leonard did say that he would like to do it again and that he was looking into it.

He's always vague when he doesn't want to answer something - love it.

I actually found hearing Leonard say that he would like to do it again and had been looking into it much more encouraging and believable than any of the press releases we have had so far. He very wisely didn't put a timescale to it - I don't think he ever met a deadline in his life - but once he has the new album released I would not be at all surprised to see him making at least a few live appearances. It was a lovely interview. A shame that the song clips couldn't have been a bit longer, but I got the distinct impression that Mark Lawson was trying to cram in as many of his favourite songs as possible (which was perfectly understandable).
