Mic Christopher (RIP) - Heyday


The Pogues - Dirty aul Town


Republic of Loose - You Know

(Seen these guys live a few times, and they rock. The lead singer is a head case, he normally abuses you into having a great time. Dropping the mic is fairly typical of one of their gigs)

Christy Moore - Ride On

My father's favourite

Damien Dempsey


Mundy


Snow Patrol


Bell X1


The Devlins


The Frames


Paddy Casey


Messiah J


And that's skipping the obvious ones, like Damien Rice and U2.

Who's from your area?

And why the unhappy face about Goth, cat? The Phono was the only place to be in Leeds on a Saturday afternoon!

P.S. Did you know that Marc Almond used to work as the Cloakroom attendant at The Warehouse?

I can't see the MySpace vids. 🙁

I didn't realise that so much good music came from Leeds. That whole area, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool is great for music.
