Leon’s playing bass in our band Refuse/All now and yes, he’s a lovely bloke and a damn good bassist too.

I’m going to put up a biog of Assassins of Hope and his other bands soon on the Refuse/All website, so any pics would be welcome. I’ve got most of the recordings they did as AOH, Assassins and Swine, if you email me at shearefuse@hotmail.co.uk I’ll pass any messages on and see if Leon’s okay to pass on any recordings.

Check out http://www.refuseall.co.uk or http://www.myspace.com/refusealllondon if you want to hear what he’s up to now. We’re doing a gig with the Restarts and Social Parasites at the Fighting Cocks, 56 Old London Rd, Kingston, KT2 6QA tonight, Friday 15th February 2008 if you’re interested.

Cheers, Shea Refuse.

Does anybody have a recording of Leon’s band after the Assassins.

I went to school with the guitarist, by the name of Lawrence, and I think the band’s name was Swine.

Had a tape years and years ago and it rocked.

Cheers

Actually, there’s a pic of Andy in his Assassins shirt up on the Apostles myspace page.

I took a couple of Mike & Leon recording that demo Andy played guitar on too. Will try to look them out and get ‘em to you along with a copy.
