Leechtown is a ghost town on the Southern end of Vancouver Island in British Columbia,
Canada. On 18 July 1864 the Leech River was named and ‘payable’ gold was discovered by members of the Vancouver Island Exploring Expedition, which led to a gold rush and the establishment of Leechtown.

Covid protocols have eased, we would be happy to connect you with another single on tour, with their permission.
