082. Supergrass: Brighton Beach, The Cockpit, Leeds [4.8.95]
Artist: Supergrass
Venue: Brighton Beach, The Cockpit, Leeds
Date: 4.8.95
A secret show. No ticket stub for this gig, as those in the know simply headed down to Brighton Beach at The Cockpit, and paid on the door. The length of the queue implied that the word was out, but even as the band took to the stage, many of the in-crowd were unaware that Supergrass were about to play.

078. Menswear: The Duchess, Leeds [22.4.95]
Artist: Menswear
Support: Clockwork Dogs / MK13
Venue: The Duchess of York, Leeds
Date: 22.4.95
Menswear wanted to lead the Britpop mod revival. They were nothing like a mod band, but deserve more credit than they ever got for a few half-decent pop songs.
077. The Real People: The Duchess, Leeds [22.3.95]
Artist: The Real People
Support: The Colours
Venue: The Duchess of York, Leeds

076. Supergrass / The Bluetones: The Duchess, Leeds [25.2.95]
Artist: Supergrass
Support: The Bluetones
Venue: The Duchess of York, Leeds
Date: 25.2.95
At the time, Supergrass and The Bluetones were making their names on the Britpop scene. Both bands attracted something of a 90s mod revival following. The Bluetones played a great support slot, after which roughly a third of the audience left. Those who stayed did so wisely and saw an excellent (very loud) set from Supergrass, who would excel to stardom over subsequent years. No ticket stub for this gig, as in those days you could still queue and pay a few quid on the door.

Date: 1.6.91
A full on baggy invasion of the Yorkshire heartland, as Happy Mondays and friends hosted their ‘Match of the Day’ at the home of Leeds United. The gig was temporarily halted, as some nutter climbed to the top of the floodlights for a better view and a bit of a dance. The crowd obligingly chanted “jump”, and the show went on.

Artist: The La’s
Support: Top
Venue: The Irish Centre, Leeds

The La’s performed songs from their perfect but concise eponymous album. As a result, it was a fairly short set. However, the band did a proper encore, replaying whichever songs the audience requested. ‘There She Goes’ was played at least 3 times during the gig!
