Were you a Goth in Leeds in the 1980s? Come and see us on Saturday 15th in Leeds Market and share your stories…

Great day shooting photos at Elland Road. Chris, Phil, Mike and Peter went to the European Cup Final in Paris 50 years ago - where Leeds Utd were robbed of the title! They shared their memories as part of our project.

Interviewed Danny Mass from Salvation about the late 70s/early 80s goth scene in Leeds. “I was around at the birth of goth. But in the beginning it wasn’t called goth. That came after.” Spoke to Danny in the (frankly stunning) Golden Beam in Headingley.

We interviewed Joanne from The Nut Shop at Leeds Kirkgate Market last week. She is ace. She started at the Nut Shop as a Saturday girl aged 14 and now runs the place. (BTW forgot to get a photo so here is Joanne with a VIP!)

Lovely photo shoot at Leeds University with some of the women who were at the very first Reclaim the Night march in 1977. Photographer Jonathan Turner.

We are currently interviewing Rosie Garland for our Goth chapter. She is BRILLIANT.

Plotting our Goth chapter… with “Karloff” nail varnish.

We have been gathering memories about the fateful night in Paris in 1975 when Leeds United were “robbed” of the European Cup title… were you there?

Did you know that Goth started in Leeds? Excited to discover the origins of Goth for our latest project. The Phono was key to the story... let me know if you were there in the 1980s and want to share your story. Currently diping into this book to help with the research.
