This vocal powerhouse from Belfast has really caught the attention of thousands of avid music lovers over the past few years. From a massive landslide win at the Coca-Cola all Ireland music finals in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall with her powerful rendition of Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman; to holding court at The Limelight with her unique session of both old standards and self penned tunes – this bombshell has earned the right to be taken seriously as genuine talent. She has been recognized as a truly awesome singer / songwriter and, as such recently won the title of Best Vocal Talent at the ITS international talent showcase event in Paris. Her vocal capability is simply massive. To call her credible is an understatement when you take the range of Franklin to Aguilera and wrap it up in a classic but cool presentation style that is on power with Winehouse or Duffy. All this together gives us one huge amount of talent in a little five foot package that is very easy on the eye. Leah McFall’s talent and stage presence is no accident. She has taken her amazing raw talent and worked relentlessly to perfect it into the outstanding entertainer we see today. No stranger to hard work, Leah has taken gig after gig to expand her experience in live performing. From wedding parties through restaurant backdrop sessions to regular spots at The Rotterdam, Donegans, and The Pavilion. This lady knows how to connect with her audience. She works closely with her skilled musicians that form her own band, collaborating with them on writing some really well crafted songs. Together they create a truly amazing live performance experience and are well respected and appreciated by audiences wherever they perform. Whether its their sell-out gigs at local venues or even their live session on BBC radio they have always received the respect and adulation they truly deserve. Leah's personal taste in music is incredibly eclectic covering most genres. The influences of classic Motown, Gospel and Blues flow elegantly through her set, however it is her own skill and individuality that will capture your head and touch you to your very soul. Leah is well within her comfort zone singing any of these but with a style and flair that would make some of the great divas sit up and listen.

Didn't think you'd find another
Thought time was in my hands
Still can't believe you found another
No
I wish that I could pour out what's on my mind
My lips have been glued
Still in love with you
I wish that I could pour out
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind
I bottle it all up inside
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind, my mind
I bottle it all up inside
You're on my mind, on my mind
You're full of someone new
I didn't think that that would happen
I was ready to tell you
But now I have to cap it, oh no
I wish that I could pour out what's on my mind
My lips have been glued
Cap has been screwed
Still in love with you
I wish that I could pour out
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind
I bottle it all up inside
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind, my mind
I bottle it all up inside
You're on my mind, on my mind
Boiling up, 'bout to explode
I should be with you but I'm on my own
Ready to say love to you
How could you be with someone new?
You're on my mind
On and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind
I bottle it all up inside
Every time I try to forget you
You're on my mind, my mind
I bottle it all up inside

i still think you should be more recognized as you are easily one of the best singers on the planet that ever lived
Samantha J Wright
Jesus christ she's a legend. Isn't she xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
I Glad
a slight exaggeration i think she's good but never the best sing that ever lived as that title is Aretha Franklin's (RIP).

LEAH DESERVES MORE ATTENTION, SHE'S SO TALENTED. ANOTHER GREAT SONG! ❤️

I know all about restriction they impose on artists but surely you could publish non musical content.. oh well.things seem to be picking up now for her
gordon prior
she was tied up by contract to a record company for the last 2 years so not allowed to record anything. if you was a fan you should know this.
jason johnson
I disagree.. in this game loyalty to your audience is key as there is so much competition and even if she has none i still think popping up out of the blue with a song and a big "BUY NOW" button after no engagement with her audience for so long is a bit disresectful.. all the other artists including those on youtube.. build rapport by engaging with their audience by posting content up far.. more... regular.. this is a piss take really just to appear out of the blue asking people to buy shit..regardless of how great her voice is its not very polite.. imo

Valeria Ruiz I think this slow and steady grind is a better route for an artist they have to really work
Wilbur Carruthers
Probably the only artist that normal people cant sing along with.. Her voice is so intricate and pitch perfect I just have to whistle along lol..Love her and will probably pass out in April when I see her live.
