Leee
John's BIRTHDAY BASH (Sunday June 23rd) A birthday party was organised in famous Italian restaurant Ascanio (London) in honour of Leee's birthday. The evening started out with some great Italian dishes selected by
Leee. Among the invitees enjoying the pastries : Gina Smith, the
band, Rikki (ex-background singer 'like it is' tour), Paul Bailey (dancer
extraordinaire), Mark Uttley (Johnboy, webmanager), Steve Charalambous
(friend/fan and cameraman), Fulvio (Mr. passion, from Italia 'feeling at
home'), Andy Eddington (legendary fan and helping out Leee during
'Hot Mikado' run), Jessie (Leee's mum ), Mick After the 'stuffing', the party started with some great 'choons' taking us back and forth : from the golden era of disco, northern soul , britfunk, imagination classics. Singers Harmarni and Lorraine sang a bravura 'Happy Birthday' and Leee gave one of his famous speeches thanking everyone for the support and friendship thru the decades. The movin' , groovin', hoppin' and bopping lasted to well over midnite and a lot of laughter and shouting went on till it was time to call it a day (or night). We (webteam, Steve C., Gina and Fulvio) drove off at around |

BUTLINS BOGNOR SHOWS 2002 Since May, Leee John & Imagination have been performing all around the UK. A great time was spent in the 'Butlins Resort Bognor'. Our photographer Tony Deacon (who quickly became 'the Official Imagination Photographer') made sure some sweaty pictures were shot. These are living proof of the Extra Exciting Energy going on 'On Stage' as well as 'Off Stage' . Leee has surrounded himself by topnotch musicians and singers. Cornerstones Adam Pendse (Guitar, tour manager), Kofi Kari Kari (Percussion) & Harmarni (Leee's extra lung) are still there and are joined on stage by Gordon (Keyboards), Alexis (Bass) and Lorraine (Singing nigthingale) and Paul (Drums). Together they provide the venue with booming sounds of the past , swinging notes of the present and scintillating vibes of the futures. Some of the songs performed : Flashback, Burnin' up, Music& Lights, Make your Mind up, Magic in you (scorching opener), Slippin' Slowly (from the upcoming album), In the Heat of the Night, .....Illusion. The newer material is well received to say the least, the response we're getting of old and new fans (young, old, whatever) is beyond expectation. Those who thought 'heard this, seen that', forget it, Leee is alive and His Imagination is still Up There with the best. 'Last Days of Summer?', NO the SUMMER IS EVERLASTING!!!!

DISCO NIGHT FEVER 2001
Leee accompanied by dancers Paul and Tony performed a set of 5 songs during the 'DISCO NIGHT FEVER' shows in Belgium. It all started in Charlerloi before going to Luik and ended with a bang at the 'Forest National Venue' in Brussels. Also on stage were George McRae ('Rock your Baby'), Gibson Brothers, Boney M. starring Bobby Farrell, Ottawan, Patrick Hernandez and some other funky disco legends. With his usual gusto, Leee performed 'Flashback, Passion,Body Talk, Music and Lights and Illusion' in front of a crowd of 10, 000 shaking their hips and feeling the bubbles of the gigantic yacuzzi. |

TAHITI 2001 Leee and his posse spent a truly hot couple of days in Tahiti. Besides doing a scorching show and hosting a radio show, Leee also met with local royalty. In between work Leee had time to wander around and meet some of the local residents and enjoy the majestic scenery. It is on this island that they recorded a promo clip for "Passion".
