A graduate from the Birmingham Conservatoire with a degree in composition, the 26-year-old is a unique collision of her Caribbean background and formal music.
As one of the most exciting new musical talents to come out of the UK, this young lady deserves every bit of attention that she gets. As Clash magazine say, “Beautiful in voice and soul, lift your eyes skyward and watch this girl soar”.

Hailing from Sunderland and Newcastle, brothers Robert (lead vocals, guitar) and Michael (lead guitar) Coles and bassist Matt Hall formed the band in 2008. Having been described as kitchen sink indie these boys have sold out The Cockpit on numerous occasions as well as garnering acclaim over hotly tipped albums, In Search Of Elusive and Life Is Everywhere.

We welcome Rudimental to Leeds for what will be an unforgetable performance, no less, as two of them attended Leeds Met Uni!
sAvAgesAfter a debut show opening up for British Sea Power in Brighton in 2012, Savages soon became the talk of the town. With hype from all quarters including The NME, The Guardian and Radio 1 and a high profile performance on Jools Holland, 2012’s rip roaring single ‘Husbands’ aptly demonstrated why such a fuss has been made over these girls, evoking Birthday Party-era Nick Cave, the Pop Group circa Y, the ragged speed of Killing Joke, Mission of Burma’s way with distortion, and the Slits’ predilection for dub. A pretty uncompromising list of comparisons!

the stAves2012 was a breakthrough year for The Staves. Their debut album received near faultless reviews from the British media, and following a series of US, European and UK tours with Bon Iver, and a recent sold-out tour of the UK in their own right, the three sisters have rightly begun to reap the rewards of their relentless years of hefty touring.
The Staves’ songwriting is as striking as it is exquisite, a melding of still, bright English folk and sublime West Coast pop that, performed live, is capable of plunging an audience into awed silence.

Live At Leeds The Unconference takes place on Friday 3rd May at Leeds College Of Music, returning for a 4th year. Curated once again by whiskas (¡Forward, Russia!, Dance To The Radio, IMGNTN) and supported by Leeds Metropolitan University, the focus this year will be around networking and the landscape of music consumption in the digital landscape.
For the former, we are working with organisations such as Music Industry Yorkshire & Blacks Solicitors to host networking events alongside our traditional panels. Our panels will again be welcoming a range of guests including The Orchard, Wichita Management, Pitchfork, Jon Gomm, Hope & Social and more.
The day, will, as always, end with our customary
and successful demo panel where we ask bands/artists to submit music to be discussed by our panel of experts, giving practical advice on recording, releasing and getting exposure for your music. In previous years, bands have attracted the attention from managers, labels and journalists as well as from other attendees and acts at The Unconference. To submit your music to the panel send a link and some background information to [email protected] with the subject: LISTENING PANEL
The Unconference opens at 10am and is free to attend, but you need to register in advance online via the Live At Leeds website. The full programme will be available online from www.liveatleeds.com nearer the time.

Black Moth + Wet Nuns + Bearfoot Beware Doors 7pm / Entry: free to attendees of The Unconference and Live At Leeds ticket holders. Otherwise £5 on the door.
Black Moth formed out of the ashes of a Leeds-based garage rock band, seduced by the brutal and hypnotic lure of the riff, to emerge translucent skinned and bleary eyed from their cocoon as the ferocious kick-ass heavy rock outfi t that is Black Moth.
Apparently the success of Wet Nuns is down to a unique combination of ‘women, death, beards, skulls and whiskey’. It’s the magic formula for a lo-fi blues punk sound that has been tearing doors from gig venues across the UK.
The Yorkshire duo kick up an amazing sound. It’s Black
Keys with a deep, deep growl - the riffs are enormous, the drumming is monstrous and the hardcore vocals are the knockout blow.
Experimental, scrappy, but with an accessible underbelly, Bearfoot Beware are an alt-rock power trio from Leeds. This year has seen the gentlemen release their sophomore EP BASS LANE (pronounced like - but not to be confused with; the fi sh), performing alongside the likes of Johnny Foreigner, Tellison and Two Door Cinema Club in the process.

Beth GordonBeth started songwriting at the tender age of 12, now at the grand old age of 16 she has moved into what she describes as hew second phase of songwriting. Blessed with a big voice and an knack for a catchy hook, she is unashamedly pop but with a lyrical barb that touches on heartbreak, anger and abuse. Beth Gordon is entreatingly provoking.
Black AllyMusically they sip from the devils cup of Blues-rock but with vocalist, Eleni Ravanis, who’s voice could melt choclate, this is the sweet and sour of music all in one dish. Having formed from the salvages of one band, Black Ally came into being after hours of jamming old blues riffs to pounding beats. While they might have only started their live adventure, they have already got people tipping them as “ones to watch”.

drummer Tom Webster, pianist Jack Mattison and bassist Louis Appleyard, Carnabells fell upon a sound with its heart and soul in traditional rock n roll with the rip-roaring energy of northern guitar music.
Grace With Tea LeavesLed by the small girl with the big voice, Grace Richardon, the Leeds-based band mix a homemade brew of jazzy power melodies, complex experimental rhythms and absorbing harmonies, which combine to create something distinctive to your ears.
Myfanwy ShieldsDespite having no connection to Wales her parents still decided to call her Myfanwy, this has had no lasting damage to her music. Myfanwy’s debut EP ‘Festival’ is fist of fun that sees her move away from her acoustic roots to a big pop sound drawing influence from the likes of Graceland
era Paul Simon and Blondie that tells teenage tales of boys, girls and nights in The Cockpit.
This LegionIn the past two year This Legion have gained an army of fans with their no-nonsense, Northern indie tunes. Drawing influence from classic guitar bands they sing songs of nights out, nights, triumph and heartache, all done whith bane coats and quiffs!
We Be HappyAfter a year playing each others music Francesca & Alex finally bit the bullet and formed an actual band. The immediate results have been startling, leaving audiences stunned. This is perfect union of her innate ability for melody and his for taking the book and throwing it out of the window. While they describe themselves as “acoustic pop” it’s much, much more that that.
