FOOD + DRINK Over recent years Leeds has transformed a tepid slop into a gastronomic hotpot and turned water into wine. Where once only a select few battled against the dubious takeaways and global mcleaders that dominate every city, now a handsome selection of restaurants, cafés and bars are fighting back using quality food and drink as their weapons. In a centre populated with numerous fast-food, mass-brews and bad-booze chains, it is heartening to find an increasing amount of places offering knowledge and expertise of their craft to provide diners and drinkers with an experience that has helped Leeds lead the UK food revival outside of London. Making the most of the city’s surroundings, many urban outlets are combining with rural suppliers to serve up international cuisine using local produce. Whether it’s sourcing free-range meats and organic vegetables from the Yorkshire Dales or pulling a pint from the dozens of nearby micro-brewers, there is every chance that your breakfast buttie, lunchtime salad, evening meal and night-time drinks are ethical and authentic as well as awesome.

MUSIC + NIGHTLIFE Leeds’ music scene has never been stronger. Whilst some other UK cities boast a more famous musical history, Leeds has grown through the years. From a surprisingly stark past to create an eclectic array of successes. Where the likes of Liverpool, Manchester and Bristol are defined by a certain sound, Leeds dismissed the NMEs feeble ‘New Yorkshire’ attempts to keep a variety of genres alive throughout the city.

The Leeds Music Festival began in the 19th century. Not of course as we now know it, this annual event featured classical performances from the Leeds Festival Chorus and Leeds Philharmonic Society, both of whom still put on shows at Leeds Town Hall, where it all began.

This began to change when Leeds embraced the alternative eighties. Students Gang of Four led the postpunk movement. Avant-gardeners Soft Cell exploded out of Leeds Polytechnic to take on the world.

Goth originators Sisters of Mercy formed their dark arts here. And indie kids were kept involved in the growing scene across the pennies through local heroes The Wedding Present. Hosting these and almost every other soon-to-be-famous band for the next decade was arguably Leeds’ most fondly remembered pub The Duchess of York.

MUSIC + NIGHTLIFE | 106
THIS IS LEEDS, RIGHT? Rick Wade, Pop Art and Street Sites Leeds Founder, provides a candid retrospective on how Leeds has evolved to the unique city we love today... Has it really been 25 years? It seems only yesterday that club nights like the legendary Kit Kat Club, Ark and Kaos, alongside venues like The Warehouse and The Phono, as well as established guitar bands like The Mission and The Wedding Present, were defining the nascent Leeds scene of the late 80s and early 90s. Back then Leeds was a different city. Ventures into the city centre for a night out could easily get you a clout from a lurking gang of lads intent on beating up students, longhairs, Goths, clubbers, whoever. The place seemed darker. Pockets of safety were dotted around, but navigating between them required the kind of guile not normally observed at 1am with a skinful of Red Stripe. Despite this, coming to Leeds for nights out as a music-mad 16 year old got me hooked. Leeds was heaven. I’m still here. I shifted speakers for bands, stage crewed all over Leeds, even drove the band van for a youthful Richard Todd who went on to open The Cockpit. Pop Art was founded in this environment in Leeds in 1990. We worked alongside the bands, promoters, venues and clubbers. We printed posters to promote just about everything. Creativity was everywhere. People just made things up as they went along. New nights and venues were springing up all over the place.

A purpose built rehearsal studio in Leeds which opened in 1982 as Parkside Studios in Armley has seen a melting pot of talent emerge from their doors. They later moved to an old Wesleyan chapel building at Czar Street, Holbeck turning into the Old Chapel Music Studios in 1992. Working to build the foundations for future stars and beyond, the studios have acted as the starting blocks for some of the most successful artists to emerge from Leeds.

Grace Wood reflects on creative interventions in the city with Outlaws Yacht Club It’s one thing to have great ideas, it’s another thing entirely, to share and develop them within a community. Through creating strong partnerships and opening up communication with the people that occupy the city, great things can and do happen. Relationships and support networks within Leeds, as a city filled with arts and culture are vital. Nurturing ideas and fostering new talent are essential to extending the blood lines of Leeds. None so more evident than through the alliance of Outlaws Yacht Club ‘'Leeds new social hang out, coffee house, bar & exhibition space’’ and MAP (Music, Arts & Production) a registered charity that is an arts centre built to offer young people access to art and music courses and a variety of creative & educational opportunities. The impact of this working partnership is untold as MAP deliver courses that are designed to engage with young people who wish to learn on an individual basis as well as within group project work. The benefits of which for young learners at a vital stage in their learning journey, cannot be measured. With a focus on nurturing creative talent through collaboration with developing and professional artists, from music events and art exhibitions, through to screen-printing workshops and individually tailored projects. Focusing on students aged from
11-16, MAP can make a huge impact for young people through changing the cultural offering of the city. On an individual basis, what young learners can gain from such a strong support network, can have a dramatic effect. Particularly when faced with possible exclusion from mainstream education. Outlaws raise funds for MAP through hosting regular ‘Chinwag’ talk events inviting interesting characters from a range of backgrounds to step into their space and share stories and ideas. Hosted by therapist Chris Madden, Chinwag invites everyone to lean in and listen to conversations surrounding creativity. Informal and unlike a typical Q&A there is no set format, just an opportunity to get to know someone that little bit better. Whether it’s a talk with Andrew Weatherall or Irvine Welsh, showcasing local artists or some of the work that’s spanned the legacy of stalwart independent electronic music labels such as Warp records, Outlaws utilize their space creatively alongside their know how to bring people together.
Independent Leeds are delighted to be supporting MAP through physical donations at distribution points of our Little Black Book. For further information please visit: w w w. i nd ep end entleed s. co.uk Or join in the conversation: #CreativeUp rising

RISING RAW TALENT Grace Wood hears about Studio 12’s passionate support of raw talent in the making... There’s naturally a social responsibility to encourage and contribute to the voice of the city. It’s also imperative that we champion those around us that have a vision and wish to share it. Especially when it comes to working with the incredible people who choose to live here. The emphasis on developing and supporting emerging and rising talent through enabling young people with a platform has never been more relevant. Harvesting and fostering creativity is the vehicle to ensuring that Leeds continues to creatively flourish.
