Just found out The Flamboyance in Leeds (UK) had its Pride bunting ripped down overnight and set on fire. I am aghast and quite furious.

The night before Leeds Pride and the setting-on-fire thing shows it’s not a casual incident by drunk twats and it’s been reported as a hate crime obviously.

Shit like this shows WHY we still need Pride to be about protest more than drag pageants and music festivals.

Absolute bastards.

Tech rehearsal day and the dining room is full of 'stuff' again. One-off show for Leeds Pride tomorrow night at The Flamboyance up in Holbeck, reprising the Fringe show so I've been refreshing my memory, making sure I have party poppers, the stage iPhone is charged and the lights still work. It's a welcome day off the third album, to be honest.

Over the moon to welcome pals @manc_collective tonight with Bag of Bones.

The place absolutely rammed for stunning music in Holbeck’s newest theatre, The Warehouse in Holbeck.
#paywhatyoudecide #holbeck

Exciting to see excavations where the earliest textile-machine shop in #Leeds was built, 1780s. Later #TaylorAndWordsworth.

A vivid and brief exposure of some fixtures and fittings of a place I first researched for my DPhil 30 years ago.

Complicated, but the extension of Silver St. is clear. Maps and records will be important in interpreting findings.
