Artist: Greame Park [DJ Set]
Venue: Old Woollen, Farsley, Leeds
Date: 30.10.21
You can travel the world but post industrial northern England does this the best. Less Factory, more Farsley as legendary DJ Greame Park follows the M62 to the happening side of the Pennines.
Artist: Squarepusher
Venue: Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
Date: 26.10.21
An audio-visual mindfuck. If you know, you know (or maybe you couldn’t process it).
Artist: Sinead O’Brien
Support: Spaceacre
Venue: Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds
Date: 24.10.21
Post punk, funk, electronica, rock, spoken word. A tricky gig to summarise but there was a cool vibe in the basement at the book club.
Artist: Fontaines D.C.
Support: The Altered Hours
Venue: O2 Academy, Leeds
Date: 23.10.21
I was lucky enought to have first seen Fontaines D.C. live at Brudenell Social Club a couple of months prior to this gig. As a result the soulless, corporate surroundings of the O2 Academy, Leeds simply didn’t compare. The band were on form but the view from the seats in the overfilled balcony was appalling, making it a somewhat unmemorable event. Shame.
Setlist: A Hero’s Death / A Ludid Dream / Sha Sha Sha / Chequeless Reckless / I Don’t Belong / The Lotts / Living in America / Hurricane Laughter / Too Real / Big / Televised Mind / Boys in the Better Land // Roy’s Tune / Liberty Bell
Artist: The Spitfires
Support: The Theives
Venue: The Constitutional, Farsley
Date: 14.10.21
A mod influenced power-pop frenzy with Acid Jazz favourites The Spitfires in danger of having their thunder stolen by the suppport band.
Sadly one of the last gigs to take place at The Constitutional – a small but beautiful venue that would concede to bigger and better things just down the street at the Old Woollen.
Artist: Billy Nomates
Support: Straight Girl
Venue: Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
Date: 5.10.21
One woman, a laptop, boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm. Sometimes less in more.
