Gwen

The Band was formed in the Autumn of 2005, and played its first concert in the Spring of 2006, comprising me (Gwen) plus Andreas Hecht (guitar), Aurel Bantzer (percussion) and David Cohen (bass).

Excerpts from that concert can be heard here ("Sunlight", "Fool's Gold", "Runaway".

Later the band was joined by drummer Cesar Ferreira, and bassist Martin Drees, after David left to pursue his solo projects.

Concerts have been well-received so far and shall become more frequent as the process of recording a first studio CD draws to a close. The CD is due to get finished very, very soon.!

Meanwhile, parallel to that, Andreas Hecht and I are working on a special extra called "Can You Feel It", three songs of which you can listen to here ("George's Song", "A Moment.", and "Can You Feel It") and which should be ready in time to make a really nice Christmas (or other) gift at the end of the year.



Can you feel it?



"I'm interested in expressing myself in a way that will mean something to people in any country, in any language, and at any time in history." John Lennon

(Jann Wenner Interview, New York, 1970)



Meine Songs stellen die Erfahrung des Menschseins in den Vordergrund. Sie sprechen Herz und Seele an, wollen wiedererkannt werden, zu Zuversicht anregen, und - so wie ein winziger Stein der in den großen See geworfen wird - kleine Wellen schlagen. Gwen



".auf eine so angenehme Art eindringlich, dass sich das Herz unversehens und so ganz wie nebenher öffnet. .Gwen Leo-Allens Musik gibt der Vergänglichkeit alles irdischen einen neuen Klang."

Katrin McClean (Hamburger Autorin)



"Eine wunderbare Stimme und ein begnadeter Gitarrist. Folk-Pop der Extraklasse."
