The Beiderbecke Affair was filmed around Leeds i'm sure all us older ones will remember Much of Leeds has changed beyond recognition since the 1980's. I'm just wondering if anyone has any interesting info, or stories to tell about the Beiderbecke Affair.I've just done a little bit of trivia about it on my flickr. It might be a good place to start with the locations here http://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/4599408624/
My flickr pictures are herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/Because lunacy was the influence for an album. It goes without saying that an album about lunacy will breed a lunatics obsessions with an album - The Dark side of the moon!

Finally its own thread! We've featured it in lost schools, leeds on film, jazz in Leeds and countless others, a lot to bring together.Sadly one of the main locations, with some lingering nostalgia for some of us, is recently no more, Foxwood, the school used in the series. I'd hoped to get there with camera before its end but circumstances prevented that.

I was at Foxwood when it was being filmed. Don't think I even made it into an episode though

Trevors Flat, and you will never guess wherehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/4599408624/
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?
