A concert of Leighton's work, from his early years to his forthcoming West End musical, is to be given at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre, Taunton, on 27-28 September 2002.His musical 'Lifts' was first performed at the College, again at the Brewhouse and went on to the Edinburgh Fringe. Emma Thornett will also be returning to Taunton to sing some of Leighton's 'wonderfully melodic songs' (notice, Somerset County Gazette, Fri. Aug 30, 2002)
The Gazette report records that Leighton's new musical 'Only You Can Save Mankind' is based on Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name and the article is headed by a picture of Leighton and the celebrated author together.
We wish Leighton and all the cast all the best for these performances
