Xan Phillips Presents... Jackie Leven
If a career in rock should be colourful then Jackie Leven's palette overflows...From near death by strangulation, to setting up a successful charity, and then having Princess Diana coax him back to singing, we are only sketching the outline of a fascinating story. Add to that over 30 albums released without a murmur of success in his home country and it is time to discover more about this great Scottish songwriter and singer. Currently living on the UK's south coast Jackie gave Xan Phillips a few hours of his time to talk about his life and those wonderful songs. |
