[best venue in leeds?]

I think the royal park cellars cos they are so grotty, but on a bigger bands scale I'm torn between the cockpit and lmu...

Royal Park Cellars scare me - only one exit... surely that's not safe

[Better venues needed in Leeds?]

this refactory place, is this the long hall thing?

←

Yep, that's the bunny

Similar to MDH (Academy 2) but longer with a balcony .... after thinking about it, if the whole back of the refectory is opened up (it's partitioned) it's probably got a much bigger capacity, maybe like that of Academy 1 ?

Personally my favourite is the 'Brudenhall Social Club' Last band I saw there was 'Explosions in the Sky' [who were ace  ].

I love the fact that it is also a prober-bo working mans club that sells hot samoosas behind the bar, and serves yer booze in glass.

The decor is a hoot as well.

Second fave is the Cockpit.

Yep, Brudenell Social Club is great and with The Royal Park next door too

Saw Mondo Suave there who have sadly now split up

I'm watching the Charlatans at Leeds Uni.

What's the venue like? similar to Manchester Academy?

Similar to Academy 2 - old University Refrectory hall. Leeds Uni is probably a few hundred bigger capacity though. It's a good venue - good acoustics, etc.

Unless it's at the Met Uni which is smaller
