Austrian born Thomas Leeb plays a style he calls ‘the bastard child of acoustic fingerstyle’. This style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional fingerstyle guitar as his tunes are usually punctuated by slaps, pops and beats. Adding to the overall effect is his frequent use of ringing harmonics. The resulting blur of busy hands and fingers has to be seen to be believed.

His repertoire consists of self- penned numbers, traditional tunes and occasional covers of Guns ‘n’ Roses, Bjork and Bob Marley songs..

Along the way he has picked up a number of influential fans such as Eric Roche who was his guitar teacher, “for about five minutes and then I heard him play” and Guthrie Govan who thinks that “what Thomas does on an acoustic guitar probably shouldn’t be legal.”.

Complimentary soup and roll for lunchtime show.
