Autumn and Winter in Leeds 2 Howard Assembly Room

Anyone taking even a passing glance at this site will know how much I enjoy going to this venue. The great thing is, because it specialises in one-night stands, I get more opportunities to indulge myself as well as broadening my musical knowledge with every trip. I hope that once you have seen what is…

Autumn and Winter in Leeds 1 Leeds Playhouse

Now that we are in the middle of June and the sun is cracking the flags it is time to cast our minds towards autumn and winter – you remember winter, it is the season which seemed to finish last week! Obviously those in the entertainment and hospitality industries have to plan well ahead and,…

Spiers and Boden at Howard Assembly Room

Two of the many great things about Howard Assembly Room is that it is both intimate and versatile. The first of these qualities was utilised, before the brilliant performance by the ex-Bellowheads, Spiers and Boden, by Jon Boden who held a Free Singing Workshop for those who wanted to exercise their vocal chords. Obviously I…

Issie Barrett’s INTERCHANGE at Howard Assembly Room

I know that I have a mind which works in strange ways but I really could not get the thought of this band being from Bradford out of my mind! In fact they are from all over the place and are some of the most innovative musicians on the planet. The name is a pun…

Leeds Jazz Festival 2022

Leeds is staging its inaugural Jazz Festival this year at various venues throughout the city. I got into the swing – literally – at the Free Stage on Cookridge Street on a sunny Friday afternoon. The whole shebang started on 1st June, so I had arrived fashionably late, but there are still a lot of…

Tai Murray and Martin Roscoe at Howard Assembly Room

Last Saturday we were treated to a programme of classical music performed by violinist Tai Murray and pianist Martin Roscoe. Tai Murray is an American violinist who made her professional concert debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the tender age of nine! She went on to study at Indiana University and the Juilliard School…

The White Card at Leeds Playhouse

I normally try to post my reviews the day after I have seen the event but The White Card requires so much research and re-editing that it has taken me far longer than normal to put finger to keyboard and press ‘Publish’. As you will deduce from the opening paragraph, this is not a play…

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…
