Spokers Loan is the musical project of Scottish singer songwriter David Leonard.
David first started playing live in the early 1990's. Initially as bassist with The Naked Flames (a.k.a. Saint), he played with a handful of Indie bands in and around Glasgow before moving to Stirling.
He developed a fascination with traditional Scottish folk music. Attracted to the passion conveyed in the performance of the songs, he began learning both the songs and the history behind them. Having performed traditional music at ceilidhs and local folk clubs, David began writing his own material. The songs have a contemporary feel but remain strongly influenced by traditional folk music.
He was quickly picked up on the local gig circuit and secured gigs supporting established artists such as Kevin McDermott, Martin Stephenson, The Pearlfishers, Archie Fisher and Hans Theessink. Spokers Loan have performed at Stirling:Live and the 2006 Lomond Folk Festival.
"Spokers Loan" is a street in Balfron, the village in Scotland where David was raised.
