Quotes
"Rory is a dynamic live performer - never still or silent, his shows radiate energy. All this dynamism does not obliterate his songs, which are always thought provoking and well crafted. Get hold of one of his albums and come and see one of the folk circuit's greatest live performers."
Venue magazine, Bristol (UK)
"The charismatic British storytelling troubadour, proved to be very entertaining as he tripped passionately through highly original and distinctive self-penned material. Rory and Aimee compliment each other wonderfully on stage and are both confident conversationalists."
Beat Magazine, Melbourne, 21 Mar 2001
"Rory McLeod was another revelation ... He also proved to be a risk-taking performer leaving the Tinely stage during a harmonica piece to walk among the audience, completing the tune without the PA system!"
