About

Jonny Leitch has worked with incredible inclusive companies such as Extraordinary Bodies, Paraorchestra and Graeae Theatre Company. He has performed/recorded at Glastonbury Festival, Abbey Road studios & Bristol Old Vic Theatre.

He has just finished a critically acclaimed national tour of Waldo’s Circus of Magic and Terror, in which he performed as an aerialist and drummer. He is always looking to create innovative, chaotic ideas that push art forward and incorporate disability in new ways- changing the perspective on disability, and inspiring the next generation of disabled people. From Exploring Wheelchair Aerial rigs in his next circus show Anchored in Air, to doing handstands on drums at Southbank Centre or playing synthesised Barry White hits at Glastonbury festival.

As a musician, Jonny’s intention is to create a new world for each show. Experimenting with the relationship between organic and digital sound, via his hybrid kit, love of tv & film sound design and his search for Metamodern sounds.
