Let's hope Leeds own Gang of Four were an influence.
As an aside, in my first couple of weeks at Leeds, Dire Streets and the Police played Leeds Poly. I didn't go to see them because they were unknown but within a few months they had made it big, including in the States.

Jon King looking not unlike a young Starmer there.

Were Dire Streets ever as big as Dire Straits? Or was Mike Skinner part of the band then?

The Wedding Present are an incredibly underrated band
I was going to post similar. At the time they just registered for me as another decent band played on Peel shows. Since realized what a top group they are / were. Still touring I believe, would love to see them.

used to live a few doors up from 2 of them, manky bus, but lovely people!
Woodhouse, Leeds? They really are a great bunch of human beings, I used to hunt sab with them when they brought out the Pictures of Starving Children album.

that's the one yes; considering their reputation they were very good neighbours!

A properly dynamic and politically involved community that. I spent heaps of time in those squats and we even set up a vegetable wholesale price outlet in one of the basements. I also remember fun trips to the city centre to disrupt NF paper sellers.With Junior being up there now I have had a chance to revisit and several look like they are still empty now. The Meanwood trail and urban farm are still a real treat.

I lived in Delph Lane from 1979 to 1981 and must admit any such community passed me by.
But then again I studied law, and perhaps I was just a bit too conformist.
As it is, I was back in the area last week and it was great to take a trip down memory lane.
