Leo was supported at his show on Friday by Dan Whitehouse, whose songs have been described as ‘Black Country Soul’.

But merely hours before his headline set at the Bilston venue on Friday, Leo was preparing for his legendary performance by taking a well-earned power nap – after hours on the road during his latest series of shows.

A short while later the singer took to the stage, delighting his fans with a trip down memory lane with performances of all his legendary, classic hits.
