Corn Exchange Celebration Event

On Saturday 14th May I went along to what must have been Leeds’ best kept secret. I had stumbled across mention of this event when looking on-line for something else, but when I tried to find out more there was scant information. I couldn’t even find the original source. I had recalled that the do…

Maggie May at Leeds Playhouse

Rarely have I left a theatre as moved as I was last night after the performance of Maggie May. I am not saying that everyone will feel the same but the subject matter and the way it was handled certainly hit a nerve. The play was originally scheduled to be performed before the pandemic but…

Chicago at Leeds Grand Theatre

This is the second time I have seen Chicago, the first being in the West End in 2002. I mention this because it somewhat affects my judgement of the show. From the opening number, All That Jazz, I became a bit misty eyed as my companion in London was my late mother, so the memories…

National Opera Studio: An Evening of Mozart at Howard Assembly Room

It is amazing how one small act of kindness can lift your mood in a spectacular way. Last Saturday night I was booked to see the above concert in Leeds and so, as I have had some disastrous experiences with Harrogate Bus Company’s 36 recently, I set off ridiculously early to get there in time.…

Roberto Fonseca at Howard Assembly Room

On a fairly sunny but chilly evening in Leeds it was great to be transported to the more balmy climate of Havana for a magical evening of music from Roberto Fonseca and his fellow musicians; Yandy Rodriguez on electric bass and double bass, and Ruly Herrera on drums. Despite the music taking us to the…

Raising Agents – 100 Years of the W.I. at Holbeck W.M.C.

2022 sees Mikron Theatre Company celebrate their 50th Anniversary, and what better way to get things rolling than by reviving the 2015 production of Raising Agents, a play marking 100 years of the W.I. The company specialise in performing in venues not normally associated with theatre, although Holbeck W.M.C. is no stranger to putting on…

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time at Leeds Grand Theatre.

In the late 1960s there was an American television programme called ‘Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in’ which was required viewing for we college kids of the time. It was a sketch show comprising lots of catch phrases including, ‘Marshall McLuhan, what are you doing’. Marshall McLuhan was the Canadian philosopher who coined the phrase ‘The medium…
