Deke Leonard first came to prominence as the lead guitarist in the legendary Welsh group, Man. He is now into his 4th decade of touring and recording.
During the mid 70s, between stints with Man, Deke formed his own band, Iceberg. They toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK and released two albums; ‘Iceberg' and 'Kamikaze'.
Wireless’ is a compilation of three radio sessions recorded by this band between 1973 & ’78. The first two sessions (tracks 1-7) were recorded for John Peel's radio show in 1973. The third session (tracks 8-11) was recorded for John Peel’s Radio 1 show in 1978.
None of these recordings have ever been released before now.
The 8 page booklet features extensive liner notes by Deke, plus rare photographs.
