Leanne is my Daughter and although she was raised among all the
many guitars in the house, only took an interest in learning to play in late 2005. Singing always being her strong point it was great to see her combine both to great effect. A rare video below taken in Spain in 2014 is the only video footage of Leanne performing but it's enough to prove, she is mine! |
