Rory has constructed, edited and spliced a humourous and dark video montage at

to go with his own song 'The Singing Copper', about a policeman's work and life, out of...

"....Footage Scratched, manipulated, pilfered....
......lifted, pinched, nicked.....
....appropriated, taken-over, captured...
...commandeered, seized and borrowed from TV."

Rory was commissioned in June 2003 to compose the music for the award-winning TV animation series Creature Comforts. From the makers of Wallace and Gromit, it has been shown regularly over the last few years.

Rory was voted Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2002. The award was presented by singer and songwriter Vin Garbutt:

"Orkney-based Rory McLeod has developed a stage act like no other with his 300mph rap folk delivery and his highly potent, original songs that fearlessly tackle everything from major social issues to the minutiae of everyday life."

Interviews including Twenty Questions interview for Artrat. Read about No More Blood For Oil.
