Issue 141 – April 2025
And we weren’t at all unique because we bathed, just once a week, and smelled of cabbages and milk warmed in the sun. It was all I ever knew, meet the wife and silly moo. It takes forever to grow up and then it’s done. Squeeze front man Glen Tilbrook and his solo, somewhat offbeat offering Mud Pie from 2014. Glen’s doing a solo tour and we’ve a couple of tickets to give away in our competition on page 10 in association with MR Promotions. Another competition on page 28 and 29, this time a totally unique prize as Neil Hunter tells us about writing for television and eventually writing his own book which is called ‘Young Man from Leeds.’ Meanwhile, Warren’s off on one in and around the Cock Beck and further beyond Alan shows us how to celebrate Easter, Spanish Style. Gill gives us tips on how to grow our mental wealth! And finally, thankfully, it feels like it’s Spring. ‘twas a long winter.
Issue 140 March 2025
I met my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal. I kissed my girl by the factory wall. Dirty old town, Dirty old town. A song that could have been written for most towns or cities but as it was written by the Dubliner, we will presume it’s about Milton Keynes. Or maybe not. Anyway, the Dublin Legends are appearing at the City Varieties Music Hall on Monday 10th March, see page 8 and you might be able to win a couple of tickets so you can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a week early.
If that’s not your thing, there’s also two tickets up for grabs for ex 10cc & Hollies Graham Gouldman’s ‘Heart Full of Songs’ concert also at Leeds City Varieties, this time on 16th March.
Other than that, the usual, Lee fresh from his appearances on TV & radio has his latest show on 28th February, Warren’s busy owl spotting, Alan’s worried about seagulls and Gill’s talking about a special kind of love!
Issue 138 – December 2024
Sweet leaf of the north, you go back and forth – a little brown star to guide us on our way. Sweet Leaf of the North you go back and forth – A symbol of hope in a world that’s cold and grey. Not a Christmas song in the traditional sense but a song of rare beauty from one of the most prolific songwriters of the last twenty years. Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip’s timelss Sweet Leaf of the North, ‘it’s human, it’s real & it’s got soul.’ © Iggy Pop.
