Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, and huge blues music fan, Leo Sayer calls in from Australia!

Cerys's weekly round-up of the blues you need to hear, from all around the world and in all shapes and sizes!

This week Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Leo Sayer calls in from his home in Australia.

Leo was born in Shoreham-by-Sea but became an Australian citizen in 2009 and he's sold over 80 million records worldwide with hits including “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”, “More Than I Can Say”, “When I Need You” and “Thunder In My Heart”.

He's got an 18 disc boxset called "Leothology" coming out, he's written his autobiography and will be touring the UK in the Autumn... and he happens to have a huge collection of old blues records, so he's a perfect guest for The Blues Show!

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
