Leader/Trailer

Bill Leader recorded and/or produced many records for Topic. His own label, based in London, issued some hundred or so releases before going under when the wholesale price of vinyl increased. Only the Irish releases are listed below (the full list, which was compiled by Alistair Banfield, can be found at www.mustrad.org.uk). The rights to the label are now owned by Celtic Music, but only a few albums have been reissued in CD format.

Alistair also provided a valuable explanation of the different prefixes used by Bill Leader who attempted to distinguish between recordings of the older ‘source’ singers and traditional musicians (the LEA, LED and LEE prefixes) which were issued on the Leader label and ‘revival’ singers (LER) which were released on the Trailer imprint.
