Gosh, it doesn’t seem that long ago thousands a music fans braved treacherous very un-summery conditions at Bramham Park to enjoy three days of fantastic live music. So, with thoughts of my wellies still caked in thick mud festering in the garage, it’s now full-steam ahead for LEEDS FESTIVAL 2014, taking place over the August Bank
Leeds’ own Angry Mob KAISER CHIEFS are back with a new album, after helping kick off proceedings at Leeds Arena in September. Education, Education, Education & War will be released on March 31 and was written in London, LA and Nashville, in between frontman Ricky Wilson’s coaching duties for the new series of The Voice, which

Yay! Nickelback are playing at Leeds Arena tonight. Or, why not get down to Oporto at the other end of the city and thoroughly enjoy Wakefield trio THE GRAND‘s single launch instead, yeah?

So the Descendents/All documentary FILMAGE is being shown for one night only at Hyde Park Picture House tonight and I’m so excited it’s not funny. I’ve been tracking the progress of the movie online, and following co-director MATT RIGGLE‘s every move on Facebook, as he hopped around the US interviewing Dave Grohl, Mark Hoppus and
There’s this film showing at Hyde Park Picture House in a couple of weeks called FILMAGE. When I saw the first teaser trailer, I got quite emotional. This isn’t a soppy chick-flick where the dog dies at the end (though Marley And Me yanked them heartstrings, right?). This is a film about punk rockers playing
Although this might not look like it has anything to do with Yorkshire, cancer has a lot to do with most people. Bit of a heavy post, this, really, but then cancer isn’t something to take lightly. 15-year-old GEORGINA ANDERSON was told she had stage four liver cancer which has spread to her lungs in the summer
