One of the biggest weekends in the Leeds music calendar is here – Live at Leeds weekend!
Over something like one million venues across Leeds today bands are playing for everyone who has a wristband, and East Leeds FM is running it’s annual Music-athon… 24 Hours of non stop live broadcast, with bands from all over the region playing. Bands and musicians like Jon Gomm, Hope and Social, Rosie Doonan, Spirit of John; everyone from Hannah Trigwell to Milk White White Teeth.
I’m very excited to be taking part in two of the 24 hour broadcasts… I’m in one of the real highlights of the radio today, Maggie 8′s Jurassic Park: The Musical, which kicks off at 7pm.
Then I’ll be BACK on air at 4AM IN THE FREAKING MORNING with March of Dimes – Us? Playing in a Chapel? Why we’re making a habit of it. I think there’s a nun joke in there somewhere but I’m too excited to sit down and work it out.
So! Tune in ANYWHERE in the FLIPPING WORLD at 7pm BST and 4am BST (That’s GMT+1) – or indeed any time from 3pm BST to hear some special exciting sets from some of Leeds’ finest.
Last night we launched our EP, from those who were there, at Holy Trinity church in Leeds – thank you so much to everyone that came down ad joined in the singing!
The EP will be out to download from Monday, I’ll update then with where to get it!

This lovely duo played Foxes last month – have a listen to their fab cover of Glory Box here:
We’re running a bit behind schedule with our podcast this month due to going a little crazy getting the new March of Dimes EP ready, and moving houses and other such life upheavals.
We’ll be back before you know it though, and in the mean time here’s a wee treat for you, our label-mate and all round musical genius Samuel Foxton Wells’ video for Working T’Machine.
You can see Samuel Foxton Wells live supporting March of Dimes at the EP launch, on April 17th at Holy Trinity Church.
Hello,
Four seasons, six months, six songs, one EP – From Those Who Were There, released on April 19.
To celebrate we’re putting on a launch gig in The Holy Trinity Church, an amazing venue in Leeds city centre, with some of the other Hope House Records bands coming out to support us.
There’ll be discount copies of the EP for sale (ahead of launch!) and much fun and frippery.
Tickets are £4adv, more on the door, and you can buy them directly from any of us or online at WeGotTickets.
You can bring your own booze and everything!

Check out Leeds musical genius Lone Wolf and his slightly-inspired-by-sledgehammer video.
I’ve loved Lone Wolf ever since I heard him on the On The Bone complication a while back (as Paul Marshall) and since he’s signed to Bella Union he just keeps getting better and better.
He’s terrific live too – saw him playing supporting Jose Gonzales at the brud, and he was nice enough to have a wee chat to me afterwards.
If this is the sign of things to come we have a real star on our hands – Can’t wait for the album!
If you’re on Twitter he’s @iamlonewolf and you can hear more at http://www.myspace.com/thisislonewolf
