LEEDS IRISH CENTRE
York Road - Leeds LS9 9NT - phone: 0113
248 0887
This unassuming venue is probably
the best place in Leeds to see a band.
From Oasis to Elastica, Robert Cray to
Curtis Mayfield, Donovan to John Martyn,
John McLaughlin to the Brecker
Brothers, Joe Strummer to The Beautiful South, they've all played here.
About one mile out of the city centre on the
York Road (A64) it's on the left if you're approaching from the North
or on your
right as you come from town
(drivers must double-back under the dual
carriageway).

TWO OF CANADA'S BIGGEST ACTS:
BLUE RODEO
|
Since the release of their debut album, Outskirts, in March 1987, Blue Rodeo has established themselves as one of the premiere bands in Canadian music history. Their twelfth studio album, The Things We Left Behind, was released in November of 2009 on Warner Music in Canada and TeleSoul Records in the US. Over the course of their stellar career Blue Rodeo has released 12 studio albums, two live albums, a greatest hits collection and an award-winning DVD, selling in excess of four million copies around the world.
LINK TO THEIR BEST-SELLING ALBUMS
The final nominations for the 2010 CCMA’s were announced and Blue Rodeo has been honoured with a nomination for Roots Artist of the Year. In addition, the band’s album, The Things We Left Behind, is being considered for Best Album Design and the band’s studio, The Woodshed, has been nominated for Recording Studio of the Year!

LUKE DOUCET

Luke Doucet’s song ‘Cleveland ‘was named by Nick Hornby as one of the Top Ten Songs of the Year, The Independent in the UK named the album, Blood’s Too Rich, as one of the Best Albums of 2008, while the Toronto Star named the album as the Number One Musical Moment of the Year. Hornby says on his New York Times playlist blog: “Doucet’s album Blood’s Too Rich sounds to me as if it comes straight out of 1977 – not The Ramones/Talking Heads/Clash take on that year, but the Graham Parker/Dire Straits/Tom Petty version of it. Somehow, punk managed to reinvent rock music too, made it sound fresher and less pompous. Doucet is a terrific guitarist, as fluid and melodic as Mark Knopfler back in the day; but he’s a proper songwriter too. ‘The Comandante’ has even been accepted as a substitute for Queen, on a good day, and now we’re approaching the awards season it must stand every chance of picking up the coveted Non-Glads Song of the Summer prize. http://www.myspace.com/lukedoucet |
