Title: The Leadmill
Post by: German Rover on March 31, 2022, 06:06:33 pm: The Leadmill in Sheffield have been given a years notice of eviction. A cornerstone of SY entertainment threatened. Seen some amazing bands in there over the years and am going to see Sea Power in a couple of weeks in there as well.

Inspiral Carpets the night after my ex left me was a particular highlight.

Inertia. Have a listen if you've got Deezer or Spotify. My lad is the drummer.

Post by: River Don on March 31, 2022, 09:33:35 pm: I've had many great nights in the Leadmill, not just bands, I used to go to their club nights too, Graeme Park used to DJ there... All so ago.

This would be a huge kick in the teeth for Sheffield, surely it can't happen?

Sexual harrassment, it’s never too late to report it

Not just folk on here who you get rubbed up the wrong way by, then?
