Artist: Nightmares On Wax

Venue: Leeds Town Hall

Date: 20.9.20 [Originally scheduled: 1.4.20 / Subsequently cancelled]

This should have been an awesome night. We had central front row balcony tickets for a special 25th anniversary, orchestrated performance of ‘Smokers Delight’, against the beautiful backdrop of Leeds Town Hall. The tour was only due to visit select worldwide locations with Leeds being the hometown gig.

The real life nightmare of the COVID lockdown put and end to this dream.

The 20th Anniversary of Roni Size / Reprazent’s ‘New Forms’. A pioneering album that brought drum & bass to the mainstream. Performed live at this gig by a solo Roni Size, the timeless tracks sounded as fresh and edgy as ever. New Forms, old classics, timeless.

Support: Slaves / Pulled Apart by Horses

Venue: First Direct Arena, Leeds

Date: 20.5.17

Appropriately raucous support slots from Pulled Apart by Horses and Slaves.

Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Forever – 10 Year Anniversary Tour: Awful sound for the first half of The Cribs’ set, which is a rare occurrence at Leeds Arena. Less is more in the case of volume vs clarity. However, they seemed to sort it out and make amends for the latter part of the show.

Big is not always best – as The Cribs would prove by returning to their roots for their next Leeds shows . . .
