He leaves real life behind when he’s immersed in the Song Bar community so no one knows what leavey’s real name is. But he has been an enthusiastic contributor to Readers Recommend and the Song Bar (other than when having to listen to Rolling Stones songs) – and he’s taken the guru’s chair on 18 occasions, most recently in 2019. When doing the honours at the Song Bar, he uses takeitawayGuru as his handle.
