WHERE WERE YOU? LEEDS MUSIC HISTORY EXHIBITION
Posted 15th August 2011 · Permalink
We understand the following exhibition, which is currently on in Leeds, has several items of interest belonging to The March Violets, The Sisters of Mercy and Salvation, in addition to lots more bits and bobs from other Leeds bands.
Go see it while you can!
Where Were You? Leeds Music History Exhibition
Leeds Town Hall Crypt (downstairs, under the Hall, enter via the side entrance)
Preview: Thursday 11th August 2011 5pm to 7pm with performance from Gary Stewart
Exhibition opening times: Friday 12th August 2011 to Saturday 27th August 2011. 9am to 5pm every day except Sundays.
Fundraiser gig Friday 19th August at the Brudenell Social Club, all Leeds bands including covers of Leeds songs. Featuring members of Pale Saints, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Three Johns and other familiar faces from the Leeds scene.
This exhibition celebrates the music culture of Leeds through a unique collection of memorabilia, records, programmes, posters, t-shirts, instruments, awards and artworks that tell some of the stories of the Leeds music scene over the last sixty years. It's been put together in true DIY spirit that fans of the Leeds scene will recognise, and aims to make some noise about the great music that is made and played in Leeds. We have been overwhelmed at the generosity of fans, promoters and musicians that have sent their memorabilia from the far flung corners of the globe - there are some real treasures here. Come and have a look and share your memories of great Leeds bands, gigs and venues. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this collection of stuff - don't miss it!

Just wanted to say thank you to those of you who came along to some of the dates we played last month. It was lovely to put faces to some of the names.
Now it is back to working on the LP, and creating a classic!

The March Violets were a great band...
...A really great band. They were labelmates with The Sisters of Mercy, yet darker and infinitely more messed up than them, and through constant gigging they became integral to the whole Leeds/M62 scene in the early/mid 1980s. We loved them, John Peel loved them, and we assume you loved them too. And now they're back!
Sadly, there are still very few websites about The March Violets. Which is where we come in. You and us.
Can you help?
We'd like your help in building this site into the largest resource for March Violets information & paraphernalia on the internet.
Do you have any news clippings, photos. memorabilia, or details about the band that we don't? If so, we'd like you to let us know here. You will be credited in full for anything we use on the site, and you will have our undying gratitude.
Thanks.
Play loud, play purple.
