The Sound Of Yorkshire Gig Guide Blog

The Sound Of Yorkshire is on-air every Saturday from 6pm on Yorkshire Radio

On DAB Digital across Yorkshire - Sky Channel 0209 - www.yorkshireradio.net

Fingers crossed then that there's good weather for this weekend's Kaisers gig at Elland Road. In fact, the weekend as a whole could benefit from some sunshine but given the typical British Bank Holiday fashion it's perhaps best not to rely upon the weather. I think you can see where I'm going with this. Bank Holiday usually means more free time in which to go out. As you'll see below this is possibly the best week for sheer choice of gigs in absolutely ages. Added to that, all the venues bar Elland Road have a roof over the entire audience so my advice is; for truly reliable Bank Holiday fun, get out and see some of the live bands below. You'd only burn in the sun anyway.

This week on the show we'll be speaking to precisely 50% of The Old Romantic Killer Band, Harry, and he'll bring his acoustic guitar and showcase just why anyone who hears this band are tipping them for big things. Also, tune in next week for a round up of all the great sessions we've had in YorkshireRadioTowers over the last couple of years. Don't forget you can email us at thesound@yorkshireradio.net if you've got anything to let us know or ask.
