John Leslie stars in Vigo Thieves video ‘Ghosts’

“Soulful and clearly heartfelt lyrics combined with flowing verses and a sublime chorus leave you wanting more...” – Artrocker

Vigo Thieves make a welcome return with the release of their sensational video Ghosts, starring none other than ex Blue Peter and This Morning presenter John Leslie.

The video is set in a bar where John walks in, ordering a pint before turning to the karaoke stage belting out the words of the song to the unsuspecting customers.

Speaking about the opportunity to star in the video, John had this to say:

"To be honest I have always wanted to be in my own music video, so when the Vigo Thieves asked me to star in their new video 'Ghosts', it was a no brainer. A great song from a band destined to be big, and Scottish to boot. I had seen their previous video 'Forever' and thought it was excellent so I knew the benchmark was high. I hope I didn't let the boys down and their fans will like what we were trying to achieve. I had a great day in Glasgow filming the video and I hope it shows."

You can watch the video for Ghosts via the band's YouTube channel.



The ambitious release of Ghosts continues the band's sharp rise in the music industry. The last year has seen the single Heartbeats attracted over 50,00 viewers on Youtube, leading to the track being chosen as the soundtrack to the T in the Park announcement video. An appearance at T in the Park on the BBC Introducing Stage saw a huge crowd gather as the boys rocked their first appearance at a major summer festival.

The interest continued with the release of a second single from the EP, She's On Fire, which pulled in 45,000 hits and cemented Vigo Thieves position as one of the up and coming bands currently performing in the UK.

With the release of Ghosts and two nights at King Tut's in Glasgow sold out back to back, Vigo Thieves look set to establish themselves as one of the hottest unsigned bands in the UK.
