Pembroke Road - Leo Appleyard - F-IRECD75 (2014)
buy now

Pembroke Road is the debut album by London-based guitarist Leo Appleyard. An album rich in variety and atmosphere, it is also a testament to the strength of enduring musical relationships: "I've played in bands with Duncan Eagles and Max Luthert for more of my life than I haven't," says Appleyard. Loose tempos, rubato feels, rapid transitions of mood, tricky time signatures become as natural as breathing in the company of musicians whose habits of working together are so well-honed. He also likes to be surrounded by strong melodic voices: Wales-based trumpeter Neil Yates guests on three tracks on the album.
