Rewind Festival 2016

Leo Sayer


Leo’s career started in 1972, when he met David Courtney through an audition in his home city of Brighton. Leo and David started writing songs together, and took these to Adam Faith, who himself had been a legendary pop singing icon the 50’s and 60’s. Adam saw Leo’s potential immediately, and producing his first albums with David, steered the singer songwriter to almost instant success with 1973’s ‘Silverbird’, Leo’s debut album release. His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the top 10.
