What's Jack Leonard's Instagram handle to follow along for updates?

Totally blown away, the sound in the room was fat and the visuals on point, possibly my favourite unkle show I've been to! The live shows are always good but the vocals are sometimes a bit sketchy, and now that the 'rock' period is apparently over I think this sort of suits Unkle's sound a lot better!

Agree - its nice to have the two options 'UNKLE-Live' (Full-band) & 'UNKLEsounds' (electronica performance) - definitely prefer tonight to watching James DJ-ing solo. Actually add a THIRD flavour with 'UNKLE-Redux' (with full orchestra - ala Bexhill/Meltdown).
Nice to get a rotation - like EELS consciously do a "rock'n'roll" tour followed by a "mellow" tour to avoid people getting bored.
I still think Somerset House last summer was by FAR the tightest 'live' incarnation of Unkle Ive seen. Presume the Koko gig in Sept will be back to full band too.
Imho a couple of the mixes tonight could still do with some polish, but good mix of old and new - and nice to not get another obvious re-hash of the same predictable stuff.

Shit - my mistake.... looking at pics online... Now thinking it was more likely STEVEN WESTON in with James tonight. Not Jack Leonard (unless he's massively grown his hair since his twitter profile pic!) Edit - confirm 100% it was Steve Weston: http://instagram.com/p/BXVnQxZgCba

Fuck.
I went to a work-based LBGTQ quiz night instead of this. Oh well. There was loads of nice wine.

Dale you are a legend! Thanks brotha! My 2 cents...why would James ever just DJ solo unless booked under his own name. If you put Unke on the bill, I would expect nothing less than an UNKLESOUNDS style mix. Then you have the live band for the rock & roll vibes on the big stages. But for me, it has to be a combo of the live band and UNKLESOUNDS...that's what sets UNKLE a part from the pack. The Sunrise x In a State mashup at the end is testament to that!

Not Jack Leonard (unless he's massively grown his hair since his twitter profile pic!) This is my fault, I said Jack Louis Leonard in the OP because I've seen the recent Steven Weston stories on Instagram and incorrectly remembered them being from JLL. I'm not yet familiar with the new team! BTW, in case someone doesn't know, Jack Louis Leonard is the other main guy who worked on the new album with James and Matthew Puffett

That was really good.
Delighted they played the A$AP track. I'd never forgive James if that disappeared into the never.
