Leeds Underground presents a week of music concerts across the city, showcasing local Yorkshire bands.
The ‘Underground’ has emerged from the fringe and has been organised by an innovative collaboration of music activists forging a focal point for talented local artists and bands.
Together the Underground aims to put together the best unsigned event in the region as well as raising money for Martin House Children’s Hospice.
Collectively the Underground supports local bands in many diverse ways, promoting unsigned talent and being a meeting point for everyone involved in the local music scene. - Check back for Underground News, which will be updated regularly.
