...name bands simply because of the lack of a venue big enough to attract them.
Now Leeds has some brilliant venues, like the Cockpit, Joseph's Well and the Met but none of these reach a capacity of over 1000 which is essential for larger bands really.
Then all of a sudden, there was a new player on the scene. Part of the Leeds University campus, The Refectory offered capacity of over 1000 with big names to match. Had my prayers been answered?!
BANDS ... ...and Less Than Jake at the Refectory. Were it not for these superb bands having played there it would probably get 1 star. Coming soon are Ash and Maroon 5, and the place seems to have little trouble attracting other big names. Sure, you're not gonna get arena-style bands here but small-mid range reasonably well known rock bands are a formality.
