“I promise this will be the last Leeds comment... First gig I ever went to was Ferry solo at the Grand Theatre. I've had a thing for girls in seamed stockings ever since...”

“Aaah, The F Club, Roots, The Fav. Better be careful, too much talk of Leeds in here could be painful”

“Hey sophie, perhaps we were on the same coach trips from Leeds.

Stuart”

“I was moved from Manchester when I was 8 to be brought up in Leeds. The first live show I ever saw, a age 14, was Bryan Ferry solo at Leeds Grand Theatre. From then on I sucked in my cheekbones and headed to the 2 or 4 pubs and clubs that hosted the Bowie/Roxy scene in Leeds. From 75/76 coaches were hired and regular trips, well 3 or 4 , were made over the Pennines to Pips where we headed for the Bowie/Roxy room.

I would say the Bowie/Roxie scene in Leeds, Manchester and elsewhere was where punk sprang from, yet it's almost entirely undocumented... Anyone want to start a blog?”
