📅 COMING UP THIS WEEK 📅

We're a little slow on the draw getting this post up but we were too busy having fun with earthball.speaks and last night. Big up to the EarthBall folks for being in our photo and for an incredible gig

🎧 Open Decks - Wednesday from 7pm 🎧

Phil Ellis brings his sold out show to our stage on Thursday and then we've got Leeds formed CUD on Friday for a big indie night, with limited tickets still available via our website. Also on Friday take over the decks again for another Front Bar // Free Entry affair. It all promises to be lots of fun

Speaking of free we've got Bob Yenz presenting 'Soundcheck #2' on Saturday, but tickets are only free in advance or before 9pm on the night so get that one booked in. Drum n Bass, Jungle, 140 Bass & Dub on the big rig!

We're just giving away good vibes this week with yet another Front Bar // Free Entry event on Sunday. Heelspin debuts here at The Crescent - a dancefloor-focused Northern Soul night to round out the week
