Leeds.
Established in 1814, the Kippax Brass Band currently have vacancies for a “Eb Bass” and a “Cornet“(if you’re interested, follow the link and click Vacancies). They sounded great in Leeds last Saturday and I hope they will sound great for many years to come. If you want to know where they are going to be playing next, it might be worth consulting their Facebook page for details of up coming performances.

Christmas 2014.

Christmas 2014.

Looking good! As odd as it sounds I’ve only ever seen it, if memory serves me, in the weeks between Christmas Day and Epiphany, so it was nice to see it surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the Victoria Quarter on the last Saturday before Christmas.

The photographers amongst you might be interested to know that West Yorkshire Cameras: The Proper Camera Shop is situated in the Leeds Corn Exchange [it is just to the right of the tip of the Christmas Tree, in fact].

A certain on-line encyclopaedia informs me that the Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and was designed by Hull born architect Cuthbert Brodrick. As well as designing Leeds Town Hall, The Mechanics Institute (now the Leeds City Museum) and the Grand Hotel in Scarborough, the Hull Daily Mail informs me that Brodrick also designed Wellington House in Hull, which I photographed back in 2013 [https://anticsroadshowblogspot.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/photo-archive-wellington-house-hull-c-2013/]; it has since been demolished.
