This was a big facebook group and there was a petition to have it made official, especially in the weeks after he died. This was kick started in the Yorkshire Evening Post - the original article in the Yorkshire Evening post has been deleted (shocker) but some websites remain.
What bands do you think really define Leeds’ sound? And are there any newer acts people are excited about at the moment?
I put this map together a while ago and I’m thinking of updating it, so would be great to hear what people think, especially if there’s anything obvious I’ve missed or newer bands worth adding.
seen along the canal near city island. seemed domesticated but kinda skinny
Seem to dwarf the Palestine ones.
Very interesting dynamic, as not one Arabic writing flag in sight, no traditional Islamic dress for women, Israel, US and Iran flags everywhere, and the crowd were majority (I’m assuming) Iranian, which compared to the Palestine ones (now) is the opposite. The only western looking people there today were marching with them wearing St George’s flags.
I have heard that Pro Palestine and Pro Iran supporters are clashing elsewhere in the country, do you think that may happen in Leeds?

Going to Leeds as a work trip this week and staying there for full day. Can yall recommend places to go to or your favourite food places ?
Thank you 💗
I’m an ex-student looking at renting an apartment in Leeds with a current student, and Holbeck really stood out as it allowed city centre proximity and closeness, but for surprisingly affordable prices.
However, when I google and search this Reddit for information on Holbeck’s safety, it was all overwhelming negative, saying it is dangerous to walk around at night, unsafe for women etc.
I figured maybe there was just rougher areas or outskirts, but one comment with a lot of support specifically said the Holbeck Urban Village was a particularly bad part, despite this being where I’m looking at and around train station.
So I walked around there today, and it seemed really lovely, particularly around Bridgewater Place and the Urban Village I found that it was simply just a lot of students, younger adults and working people walking around. It felt and looked completely safe, especially with nice access to the canal.
So what’s the deal? Was it just a lucky day? Is there a lot I haven’t seen about it? Or is the area around Bridgewater Place fine?
Thanks!
Not to sound too northern or owt, but fuck me is this for real?
22F, international student, my friends are gone back home and I'm super bored here in Leeds. Does anyone have suggestions for places where I can make new friends? I don't know what to do here and I feel like I'm just rotting in my room lol.
I’m honestly just looking for some advice. My tenancy ends in two months and as I am unemployed (in the span of a year I’ve applied to more than 250 jobs) I don’t have the necessary funds for a new tenancy (no savings either) I’m currently paying rent using my student finance that doesn’t even cover the full cost of my course in the first place. I don’t have anyone I could move in with so I will genuinely be homeless in a few months. I applied with Leeds council housing but I’m currently band C. What should I do? Any advice will be helpful.
This one is about Dublin but I'm interested in hearing the Leeds equivalents
After a discussion yesterday on the sub about the many attractions of Holbeck, I got an email about their latest show.

Hey.
I realised recently that I enjoy playing pool. But I am *very* bad at it. I would like to continue playing in a competitive way, but I suck! Are there any pool leagues (preferably weekends as I work) in Leeds that accommodate newbies?
I would be playing solo. Classic red V yellow pool or something similar.
This is a long read but it's shocking. Also maybe sounds familiar given the scrapping of the trams?
Looking to home a rescue dog, ideal lap dog where would I find websites and facebook groups should I ask ?

I'm Looking to help on any boat projects in Leeds area. Looking to learn as much as possible since I'm new to it. I've been restoring a CJR 14 for a good while so learned some basics but willing to help on any vessel. Not looking for any money just doing it to learn. Give me a message if interested.
Coming down solo from Glasgow for Alkaline Trio in July, don't know Leeds at all! Any recommendations?
