Leo Sayer concert (Brand New Show)



This week for Party in the Park we have a brand new show for you,  Leo Sayer.

Leo Sayer began his music career writing songs including "Giving It All Away", which gave Roger Daltrey of The Who and Daltry had his first solo hit.

His debut single, "Why Is Everybody Going Home", failed to chart, but he achieved national prominence in the United Kingdom with his second single, "The Show Must Go On", which Sayer performed on British television wearing a clown costume and makeup. The single went to No. 2 on the UK as did his debut album. 

His subsequent singles were all major hits in the United Kingdom – "One Man Band" went to No. 6 in 1974 and "Moonlighting" went to No. 2 in 1975. His albums in this period were also consistently successful in the United Kingdom he scored five consecutive Top 10 placings on the United Kingdom album chart between 1973 and 1977.

He enjoyed a renaissance in the early 2000's with Thunder in My Heart (again) and When I Need You.

His voice, as you will hear is perfectly preserved and changed very little in almost 50 years!

Party in The Park begins at 12pm SL (8pm UK) with Leo Sayer in concert, an hour later at 1pm SL.
