Leigh has played the Guitar since an early age and continued as a professional player for almost 25 years now. His experience as a Rock, Jazz and Fusion player have led to his recent involvement in the Sibelius G7 project. Leigh is the exclusive featured guitarist who plays on the "Guitar Guide" section of the software program in which you can extract portions of his solos which demonstrate all styles from Wes Montgomery to Steve Vai. Leigh was born in London and has shared the stage with many international players as a Jazz guitarist and is currently a permanent resident in New Zealand. His latest CD release called "Parallax" is a fine example of his versatility within the Jazz-Rock fusion style both as an electric and acoustic player.

His Guitars of choice are a 1959 Gibson es-175, a mid 70s es-335 and a 1987 Fender strat equipped with a Midi Pickup.

With 18 years as Head of the Jazz Guitar department of Wellington's Massey University behind him he is also
an experienced teacher but has given it up to pursue other projects. Leigh is currently teaching Jazz at Canterbury
and Victoria University and works as a producer for New Zealand jazz label Rata-Records
