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.

Groovy.

Groovy.

I never fail to take a detour through the arcades of The Victoria Quarter when I’m strolling through Leeds city centre. I never buy anything, mind you, it’s just that I love Victorian/Edwardian arcades (I think The Victoria Quarter was built around 1900) and the high end shops (but more importantly, the high end shop windows that appeal to window shoppers like myself). What I refer to as the “Disco Ball” Christmas Tree is the centrepiece of the arcades throughout the Christmas season or at least it has been for a number of year. I hope it’s there this Christmas!

Who is that reflected in there? ;)
