Did you ever hang out in that 80s room in The Cockpit down in Leeds the early naughties? Loved it in there.

Or did you know that Leeds was dubbed ‘Goth City’ in the 80s with some fantastic bands coming out of Leeds and Bradford at the time whose music have endured the years. Eg. https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-leeds-music-scene

Anyway, get dark with us down Rodley Social as we rebrand for the evening as Gotham Social.

(And if it’s fun, we may do Alternative 90s and /or Alternative The 70s another time!)

Looking back through the archive from when we were a radio station, music blog, magazine, etc. Had a lot more time on my hands back then! Lots of interesting stuff though (to me anyway).
