The Great Leslie

The Great Leslie is a metaphysical, Bond-like, Spartacus-esque being, originally in the guise of Tony Curtis in his crowning role, and now personified by four ex-cons, all of whom were sent down for indecent assault after passing wind in a cinema. They’ve come together in search of their fortune and have each attested that in another life they would be pirates if it weren’t for their crippling fear of water. Made up of Lead Singer Ollie Trevers, drummer Ryan Lavender, bassist Alfie Pawsey, and lead guitarist Freddie Miles, the band formed at the beginning of the pandemic with the dream team coming together in January 2022.
