what Leeds City Varieties like as a venue?

Only I think I'm gonna avoid the Wolves gig as it will definitely be full of pissed-up whistlers and singalongers. That would just spoil the memory of the St Mary's Church gig.

It probably would be, they currently have nothing else to shout about.

No tickets on sale in Leeds yet.

City Varieties is a listed building and pretty nice inside. Very old-fashioned.

Yeah, too right. Although I have to say that the QEH acoustic show was incredible. Hopefully there'll be a full tour with the release of the new album.
