Yep its a Wetherspoons but even Lloyds sells beer at knock down prices which is what attracts the less desirable element from nearby Little London. I would imagine even more so since the Londoner went but given I haven't been in S&T since the Londoner closed I am guessing. Last time I was in S&T there were tables flying as I left and it had very substantial tables With thanks to Lazygamer on Leeds Skyscrapercity,proposals for the Stick and Twist,which interstingly still shows as being a Wetherspoonshttp://www.pudneyshuttleworth.co.uk/downloads/ ... y_2011.pdf

Boy band make history with Leeds Arena date http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 1835Remind me to be impressed, but who are they?Looking at them, and their potential for musical skills and creativity, I'd have thought you'd be lucky to sell out the bandstand on Roundhay Park, never mind the arena.If that's the state of the music industry today, I'll stick to my back catalog I think

It's a generation thing, to me the music of Led Zep, Sabbath, Purple and the like will never be bettered but what was once cutting edge in the music world can quickly become 'music for fogeys'. Let the young 'uns have their fun while they can because youth passes by so very fast.Regards.

I don't know, do you think it has become old fogey music?The likes of the Beatles, Stones, Zepp, still have a massive influence on today's music.. I mean as in musical bands, not manufactured boy bands, that's not music... I actually think the stuff only a few years old sounds old fashioned, and outdated, the old super groups stuff matures like fine wine. It gets as much radio play today as the new rubbish, and once that's out of the charts when it's sold 50 copies, it's gone, done with, never to be heard again. The Beatles, Stones and groups like Zepp were all influenced by the Deep South Delta 1930's bluesmen like Robert Johnson, who famously sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads in return he became a brilliant guitar player. Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and the like. These guys are in the rock and roll hall of fame, revered as legends to this day.Today's music/muzak/twaddle.... not even in the same field... Stations like Radio One struggling for listeners, Top of the Pops gone...It's a dying industry, killed off by the likes of Stock, Aitken, Waterman, who probably did more damage to the music industry than anyone else... Jason Donovan.. Please..Nooooooo
