Rory McLeod is a London-born singer/songwriter and musician who powers his brand of folk music with tales of vagabonds. Rotating between a guitar, trombone, harmonica and the self-invented stomping box during live performances, he began traveling around the UK in the 1980s, making stops at folk festivals and small bars as he collected stories that would eventually color his records. McLeod released his debut album, Angry Love, in 1985, and has since settled in Orkney while continuing to record new material, such as 2010's Swings and Roudabouts.
